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