Autism Representation In Media w/ Autienelle - The Unmasked Podcast Episode 7

Autism representation in media is the topic of discussion myself and Lauren from Autienelle talked about in this episode of the unmasked podcast. We talked about representation relating to the Sia Controversy with her autism movie called Music which is a hot topic as it showcases a lot of the autism tropes in media we are used to seeing. But Autienelle and I talked about autism portrayals in media, and what autistic people would like to see in media to showcase real autism representation in the media.

I love how chill this conversation was 🙌🏻 How you guys talked about difficult topics like Sias movie in a chill way. I MUST check Lauren out, I didn’t know of her before your podcast.

[@IndieAndy]

Aww it's so strange as I thought it would be rather heated but this is kind of conversation I love to have 🙂

[@AlexCarson]

Thank You SO much Andy for this podcast. Seriously! I'm so excited that I get to always learn about more people in the Autism community and especially those speaking about its representation in media

[@IndieAndy]

Aww thank you Alex! Yeah it was lovely to speak to someone about it 👍

My problem with A word is Joe the main character. As he says on The One Show the actor doesn't have autism. But Joe I just feel sorry for him because he's on the lower end of the spectrum, Mark great he reminds me of me when I was 16 denail what Aspergers was at the time. I'm just a weird , negative over thinker so I though aspergeers was just a label. I saw that in Mark character when he aid "do you think I have autism?" "We all show autism behaviour but you show it more". That car scence was brilliant to me sum up back that what it was like for me. back then.

Would you get Purple Ella on your podcast?

[@IndieAndy]

Haven't asked her personally but I'd be more than happy to have her on.

love on the spectrum. Awesome. Atypicial because of COVID they didn't film it. But maybe they will film season 4. And that will drop on netflicks. I watch first episode on haloween date 2019. I re watch season 3 in lock down. NT have their problems to being act autistic in lock down it is confusing. NT are wired to socialise and it is hard. But introvert NT are happy with lock down. Introvert and autism not same thing.

[@garyfrancis5015]

I commented on Atypicial before you mention it listen though. So I do think similar to you I though Atypicial representation to.
