In celebration of Autism Acceptance Month, Imara learns more about the politics and lived experiences of being autistic and trans. She’s joined by influential social psychologist and author of the books “Unmasking Autism” and “Unlearning Shame,” Devon Price. During their wide-ranging conversation, the two dive into the complexity around defining what autism is, how the far right exploits stigma around autism against trans people, and the intricacies of self-diagnosis. Don’t forget to vote for the TransLash Podcast with Imara Jones in the Webby Awards: https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2024/podcasts/individual-episodes/interviewtalk-showAnd make sure to check out TransLash Media’s new show The Mess: Imara’s Guide to Our Political Hellscape.
