Purple Ella is a renowned Autism, disability and ADHD advocate with their hands in many pots; perhaps best known for their UA-cam channel and social media... Ella seeks to shine a light on areas lacking in Autism awareness and holistic support!
In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas Henley talks to Ella about his experience of being diagnosed young, comparing and contrasting his experiences with Ella's experience of being diagnosed later in life.
Kicking off the conversation, they talk all about Ella's Autism Assistance Dog 'Coco' and some of the difficulties of access and social engagement that come with her. Ella informs us of their previous employment in performing arts at a circus group, and how that shaped their predilection for the online entertainment!
Post-diagnosis, Ella explains the process of looking back on their previous life experiences and realising moments where they attributed Autistic struggles to being "a bad human being". They also cover their experiences with pregnancy and their relationship with their husband, concluding with how much an Autism diagnosis made a positive impact on their collective lives.
The two talk about ways people can start Unmasking, re-writing your life narrative, accepting yourself, and processing trauma... in this AMAZING episode!

I'm a 'Melt-downer' but I do 'Shut-down' as well. This week has been so intense, overwhelmingly hectic that I actually had both melt-down & shut-down!
Thank you so much Purple Ella & Aspersers Growth.
Holy stinking poop, listening to you both regarding being highly sensitive, masking, masking is so damn negative. Being alone is awesome. Sleeping for up to 40hours straight to re-boot is fantastic. But to go back to the listening to you both is un-freaking real, I want to jump into my laptop and join in the conversation and have us talk for hours flowing together, like harmony in music!
So refreshingly beautiful...🤩💛🤗🎯

Great interview, and you have such a great voice for podcasts!

My memory of my own life is very spotty. I can remember an event that happened to me when I was in a baby carrier but I can't remember most of my friends from high school. At fifty-nine, finding out that I have Autism is quite late. So many things in life that I needed to do but couldn't because my brain is running Linux instead of what most others use like Windows. That's a good analogy which I heard from Yo Samdy Sam because in Linux, there is so much that you can do which Windows can do and I'm trying to emulate them. There are things that you can only do with Windows though or else I need to learn a lot more about Linux, Autism, to be able to do what needs to be done.😀
I know the feeling of "am I doing Autism wrong"? I love Doctor Who too but I don't know where I can stream it in the US.

While I do think Sheldon is a stereotype... I was thinking this morning how useful things like a relationship agreement would be, he's got a thing people can read to set his boundaries! 😅
