Lillian Carrier returns for our Season 2 finale to talk about autism representation and accommodations both on set and on screen. She dives into what it was like as an autistic actor playing an autistic character with different struggles than her own personal experience, and how beneficial it was to have an Autism Sensitivity Coordinator on set and an autistic producer really made a difference on set. Horsegirls, a film by Sumerian Pictures, is available now in select theaters. Call your local theaters to ask if they can show Horsegirls near you! *******************

On this week on Asking Autistics, we're celebrating the power of community, empathy, and showing up as our authentic selves, all while making sure there's a wide-open seat at the table for every single person in the autistic community, whether you're non-speaking, hyper-verbal, newly discovered, or a seasoned advocate. So grab your favorite drink and tune in, because resilience is better when we build it together.
Originally recorded in April of 2025, this week on Asking Autistics, Lindsey and Riki discuss the misinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding autism and vaccines, and how dangerous it is to continue to push these ideas. Advocating for the autism community is so important, especially to help protect members of our community who are more vulnerable.
This week, on Asking Autistics, Lindsey and Riki discuss the representation of autistic individuals in media, the impact of reality TV on perceptions, and the importance of authentic, ethical content creation within the autism community. They explore the complexities of autism representation in media, the ethical considerations of family vlogging, and the importance of authentic, respectful portrayals of neurodivergent individuals, as well as responsible content creation, the impact of social media, and advocating for more inclusive visibility.
