The Dialogues is a round-table podcast exploring Autistic history, advocacy, community, and the conversations shaping Autistic life today.
Featuring Foundations for Divergent Minds board members Kassiane Asasumasu, Morénike Giwa-Onaiwu, Renae Martin, and Oswin Latimer, the series brings together four longtime advocates and community members to reflect on where the Autistic community has been, how it has changed, and what those experiences can teach us about the present.
Drawing on decades of lived experience, activism, advocacy, and community-building, they explore everything from the early days of online Autistic spaces and grassroots organising to disability justice, identity, social media, representation, and the changing nature of Autistic advocacy.
Along the way, they revisit the people, organisations, arguments, and moments that helped shape the neurodiversity movement — including plenty of stories that risk being forgotten.
Informal, funny, thoughtful, and unapologetically neurodivergent, The Dialogues is a space for remembering the past, questioning the present, and preserving Autistic history through the people who lived it.
Whether you're Autistic yourself, part of the wider neurodivergent community, an advocate, ally, researcher, or simply interested in the history and culture of the Autistic community, The Dialogues offers conversations grounded in lived experience and decades of community knowledge.
Produced in collaboration with Foundations for Divergent Minds for the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.
