From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism is a podcast about Autism. I am on a mission to explain Autism. Autism emerges in human evolution as a biological adaptation, possibly through neuroplasticity, responding to environmental shifts that harness light’s energy for life. Maybe people fail to understand how living organisms use the energy from light to drive biochemistry and organize our biology. For each episode, we discuss various aspects of Autism. A large part of this process is what I call the Autism DOJO — the intense deep dives, mental battles, constant questioning, and disciplined learning that go into understanding these topics and building each episode. At times, we cover what can seem like complex biology and especially neuroscience, but I hope to deliver it in a way that is easy to understand by using simple analogies and visual ways of thinking to bring the ideas together. Lastly, thank you for listening to From the Spectrum podcast.
