TRANSCRIPT HERE
Our 25th episode has the brilliant Washington DC based journalist, author and autism advocate Eric Michael Garcia joining Steph to discuss Netflix’s extremely polite series Atypical (2017-2020). We drag it just as politely, and discuss what it does well, what it neglects, and what promising ideas it doesn’t really flesh out. We also discuss the problems with autism parenting culture, and whether we should like Zahid or not (But we should definitely love Casey).
Check Eric’s work out at his website http://www.ericmgarcia.net/. Follow him on Twitter @EricMGarcia where he occasionally pisses off Kathy Griffin, and Instagram @ericmgarcia14 . Order his book ‘We’re Not Broken’ here!
Listen to You’re Wrong About and You Are Good (formally Why Are Dads) too.
Content Warning: ableism, physical violence, abusive behaviour, discussion of cancer.
NOTE: This podcast is not designed to be therapeutic, prescriptive or constitute a formal diagnosis for any listener, nor the characters discussed.
