It sounds like a simple question. It isn’t.

In this episode of Autistic Identity with NeuroHub, David sits with a puzzle that has followed him for years: whether autism has a distinct “feel” at all, and what it means to try to describe an inner world using a language that was never designed for Autistic experience.

Support Our Kickstarter

Drawing on ideas around the double empathy problem, linguistic relativity, and the politics of who gets to name reality, this episode explores Autistic identity as something lived, embodied, fluid, and continually authored — rather than a static diagnostic category.

This is a reflective, philosophical invitation into the complexity of Autistic being: the limits of translation, the power of story, and the quiet radicalism of developing language that belongs to us.

Re-Storying Autism

A gentle episode for anyone curious about Autistic identity, self-understanding, and what becomes possible when we start telling our own stories.

]]><![CDATA[Who Gets To Tell Our Stories?]]>https://www.dghndconsultancy.org/p/who-gets-to-tell-our-storieshttps://www.dghndconsultancy.org/p/who-gets-to-tell-our-storiesMon, 16 Feb 2026 09:00:24 GMTWho gets to tell the story of autism?

For many of us, our earliest understandings of autism came from professionals, reports, and systems that framed Autistic lives through deficit, risk, and correction. Long before we encountered Autistic voices, we were often handed stories about what autism is; and what it supposedly means for a person’s future.

In this episode of Autistic Identity with NeuroHub, David explores autism as story rather than symptom.

We look at how narratives shape identity, how internalised deficit stories quietly turn into self-surveillance and self-contempt, and how re-storying autism can become a gentle, ongoing practice of reclaiming meaning, dignity, and self-trust.

This conversation is for:

• Autistic people exploring their own identity
• Families and carers wanting to move beyond “fixing” narratives
• Professionals seeking relational, neurodivergence-competent ways of understanding Autistic lives

It’s an invitation to notice the stories we’re living inside — and to ask whether they are helping us breathe.

Through diagnostic language.

Through books, posts, memes, and threads.

Through words that try to explain us before we’ve had a chance to explain ourselves.

More Content

In this episode, David explores autistic identity as something we don’t simply discover, but slowly write.

An identity shaped by lived experience.

  • By sensation.

  • By memory.

  • By relationship.

  • By growth.

This is a reflective, philosophical conversation about moving from borrowed narratives to self-authored meaning; and about giving ourselves permission to change the story as we change.

If you’re early in your autistic journey, this episode offers gentle orientation.

If you’re further along, it offers permission to revise, expand, and soften old conclusions.

Autistic identity isn’t a finished product.

It’s a living text.

And you are already writing.

Rather than treating “realising you’re Autistic” as the end of a journey, this conversation sits with what happens next; how identity shifts as our environments change, as safety grows or disappears, as burnout, recovery, community, ageing, and connection reshape how we relate to ourselves.

Drawing on lived experience, this episode challenges the idea that change means inauthenticity. Autistic identity isn’t something we possess once and for all; it’s something we live, negotiate, and revisit as we move through the world.

This is an episode about becoming rather than arriving.
About coherence rather than consistency.
About giving ourselves permission to grow without feeling like we’ve lost who we are.

We explore how Autistic identity emerges through relationship, memory, masking, unmasking, and the stories we’re told about who we are allowed to be. Rather than treating identity as something to “discover” once and for all, this conversation frames it as relational and ecological, shaped by environments, power structures, and the quality of connection available to us over time.

The episode touches on being “authentically Autistic” as another mask rather than a goal to aim for, the joourney to self-acceptance through struggle, and the quiet labour involved in translating ourselves for a world that often refuses to listen. We also explore what happens when Autistic people begin to tell their own stories; not to seek permission, but to reclaim authorship.

This is not a how-to guide or a diagnostic explainer. It’s a reflective, grounded conversation about meaning, belonging, and the ongoing work of becoming yourself in a world that prefers you to be less complex than you really are.

Expect nuance, honesty, and a refusal to reduce Autistic lives to narratives of deficit or triumph. This episode is about that complexity, and the freedom that comes from finally being allowed to keep it.
