    Pillar 10: Passionate Superfanning with Simon Scott (Episode 151)
    2025/07/22
    An episode that proudly waves the fandom flag!In Episode 151 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 10 of Autistic Culture: Passionate Superfanning, with special guest Simon Scott, producer of the show and host of the Neurodivergent Experience Podcast. Whether it’s Doctor Who, Star Trek, My Chemical Romance, football, podcasts, or even Renaissance festivals, superfanning is more than a hobby—it’s cultural identity, emotional regulation, and community-building for many autistic people.What defines this core Autistic trait?Superfanning and bonding with fictional friends hold a special place in autistic culture. Our intense special interests (SPINs), emotional depth, and fierce loyalty allow us to form meaningful, lasting connections with characters, narratives, and entire fictional universes. These connections offer comfort, inspiration, and understanding—especially when the real world feels overwhelming or isolating.Not just escapism—it's a connection.Superfanning involves more than casual enjoyment. It’s about:* Genuine emotional connection* Intellectual and sensory engagement* Deep dives into lore, worldbuilding, and communityWe often collect memorabilia, memorise scripts, analyse stories, and find kindred spirits through fandom.Key Concepts* SPINs drive depth and consistency across years or decades.* Emotional regulation happens through repeated viewing, scripting, and community-building.* Characters become touchstones for identity, empathy, and storytelling fluency.* Conventions and fan spaces often feel more accessible than "real-world" social events.* Superfanning validates intense emotional investment—without apology or shame.💭 Passionate superfanning is often misunderstood as obsessive, childish, or too much—but in autistic culture, it’s a lifeline. Here’s what it looks like when we lean in versus when we feel pressured to mask.Rewatch your comfort shows🧠 Lean in: Replay your favourite episode for the 30th time—it’s regulation, not boredom.🎭 Mask: Force yourself to “branch out” just to seem normal and lose emotional grounding.Info-dump with joy🧠 Lean in: Share your fan theory or trivia facts without apology.🎭 Mask: Pretend you don’t care as much as you do to avoid being “too intense.”Keep your collectables visible🧠 Lean in: Decorate with figures, posters, and books you love.🎭 Mask: Hide your fandom decor to make your space look more “adult.”Wear your fandom proudly🧠 Lean in: Rock your Hogwarts hoodie or Marvel shirt to feel like yourself.🎭 Mask: Dress “professionally” even when it strips away your self-expression.Write or draw your fanwork🧠 Lean in: Create playlists, fanfiction, or art around your SPIN.🎭 Mask: Call it a “guilty pleasure” instead of letting it be a valid creative outlet.Use fandom language to connect🧠 Lean in: Reference characters, quotes, or memes when talking with others.🎭 Mask: Suppress your enthusiasm to appear socially neutral.Let fictional friendships soothe you🧠 Lean in: Talk to your parasocial crew or journal as your favourite character.🎭 Mask: Dismiss it as silly when those bonds are emotionally real.Attend fan events without apology🧠 Lean in: Go to cons, online panels, or meetups that feel like home.🎭 Mask: Pretend you’re just tagging along, not really a superfan.Structure your day around your fandom🧠 Lean in: Watch your favourite series while you eat or wind down.🎭 Mask: Force yourself into neurotypical media habits to “stay current.”Let your fandom be part of your identity🧠 Lean in: Introduce yourself with your SPIN—“I’m obsessed with Doctor Who.”🎭 Mask: Talk about it like a hobby, not the deep connection it truly is.So, whether you’re autistic, exploring the possibility, or just someone who loves and respects autistic people, you are welcome here.We’re saving you a seat!This episode is a part of our Start Here Series, which is designed for new listeners of the show who are wondering, “Where should I start?” to have a solid foundation for their experience here.

  • Pillar 9: Justice Seeking with Clare Kumar (Episode 149)

    Pillar 9: Justice Seeking with Clare Kumar (Episode 149)
    2025/07/15
    An episode that deeply values justice and honesty!In Episode 149 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 9 of Autistic Culture: Justice Seeking, with special guest Clare Kumar, productivity expert and host of the Happy Space Podcast.Clare is a late-diagnosed autistic woman, executive coach, and productivity speaker. She brings unique insight into neurodivergent efficiency, workplace design, and inclusive spaces through her work with Hidden Disabilities Canada and her signature Joy Inventory tool.If you've ever been accused of being “too intense,” “too rigid,” or “black-and-white,” this episode is for you. Angela and Clare flip the script and reclaim those traits as moral clarity, fairness-driven thinking, and authentic advocacy — powerful parts of autistic identity.Here’s what defines this core Autistic trait:* We call out what others ignore.Autistic people are often the first to question broken systems, double standards, and flawed logic. We don’t pretend it makes sense—we say it doesn’t.* We sense injustice instantly.Misaligned actions, hypocrisy, and favouritism aren’t just annoying—they feel unbearable. Fairness isn’t optional. It’s foundational.* We speak up—no matter the cost.Whether it's calling out ableism, bias, or misinformation, autistic advocates often challenge power structures—even when it's uncomfortable.* We hold systems to their own rules.We expect policies to be applied with consistency and equity. Selective enforcement? We notice—and we question it.* We feel justice in our bodies.What’s labelled as “Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria” is often justice sensitivity—a real-time emotional response to being dismissed for telling the truth.* We don’t fake neutrality.When something’s wrong, we can’t mask it. We’re not “too intense”—we’re deeply aligned with our values.* We crave clarity, not conflict.Accountability helps us feel safe. We don’t want to blame—we want to understand what went wrong and how to fix it.* We value truth over comfort.Authenticity matters more than approval. Many of us would rather lose a friendship than betray our principles.Key Concepts* ✨ Moral clarity: We often see the ethical core of a situation before others do—and struggle to stay silent about it.* 🗣️ Literal honesty: We mean what we say and expect others to do the same.* 💥 Rejection sensitivity: Injustice isn’t abstract—it hits us in the body.* ⚫⚪ Black-and-white thinking: Not immaturity. Often, it’s a response to seeing real harm ignored.* 🧐 System scrutiny: We notice when things don’t align—and we say something.* 😤 Meltdowns as protest: Emotional intensity is a valid response to injustice, not just overstimulation.* ⚖️ Fairness as a driving force: We advocate for others even when it costs us socially.* 🔍 Truth over comfort: We’d rather be uncomfortable than complicit.💭 For so many of us, justice-seeking has been used against us. We were “too intense,” “too much,” or “overreacting.” But what if we reframed it as a cultural strength?Here are ten ways to lean in:* Let your body guide you.When you feel that heat of injustice rise, listen. That’s truth.* Pick your battles wisely.You don’t have to fight every fight. Choose the ones aligned with your values.* Explain your logic.Say: “This feels wrong to me because it breaks the pattern or expectation.”* Validate your emotional reaction.Meltdowns aren’t a weakness. They’re protest.* Use scripting when needed.Have phrases ready to stand up for yourself calmly.* Create micro-cultures of fairness.At work, home, or school—model your version of justice.* Don’t mask your clarity.Say what’s true—even if it’s not what’s easy.* Channel outrage into action.Start a campaign, write a letter, set a boundary.* Make space for nuance.Justice doesn’t mean perfection. It means integrity.* Celebrate when systems do get better.Even tiny reforms are evidence of your impact.So, whether you’re autistic, exploring the possibility, or just someone who loves and respects autistic people, you are welcome here.We’re saving you a seat!This episode is a part of our Start Here Series, which is designed for new listeners of the show who are wondering, “Where should I start?” to have a solid foundation for their experience here. It’s also for loyal listeners to begin to more fully embody the pillars of Autistic culture with more clarity and pride.
