Interconnection and Responsibility

Do each of us exist as mere isolated individuals? And if we are part of wider systems, what are the responsibilities we might have to one another? To ourselves? Moth (they/them) and Soph (she/her) explore what responsibility looks like through a neuroqueers lens.

Trauma, Sex, and Healing

This episode may not be suitable for all listeners and contains brief non-descriptive mentions of sexual trauma as part of an explicit conversation about sexuality.  Saying that queer sex can be healing might sound like a radical claim when juxtaposed with the way sex can also be a source of wounding, but being able to claim, define, and explore our sexuality as neuroqueer people can offer a revelatory and healing balm. In this episode, Soph (she/her) and Moth (they/them) build a starting template for how sex can be a healing modality for queer autists.
