It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T06:19:16.945465+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508"},"episode":{"title":"The Augie Cook Interview | Autism, Gender and Enneagram 8s","slug":"the-augie-cook-interview-autism-gender-and-enneagram-8s","published_at":"2026-06-22T14:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508/the-augie-cook-interview-autism-gender-and-enneagram-8s","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508","url":"https://www.aroundthecircle.org/episodes/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d7ae6b47-9c9b-440b-bb9e-6c41f466eda6.mp3","summary":"What happens when an Enneagram Eight is also autistic, non-binary, and willing to speak candidly about their inner world? For Jeff’s 50th, he sits down with his oldest, Augie Cook, for a discussion about identity, neurodivergence, gender, family, and the Enneagram. Together they explore what it feels like to move through the world as an autistic person, how sensory processing shapes daily life, why so many assumptions about Eights miss the mark, and how understanding motives can deepen relationships. The conversation also explores the overlap between autism and online communities, the experience of being non-binary, the challenges autistic adults face around work and belonging, and the importance of allowing people the freedom to understand and express themselves on their own terms.","meta_description":"What happens when an Enneagram Eight is also autistic, non-binary, and willing to speak candidly about their inner world?
