Matt and Erin are wrapping up Season 1 of The Autistic VOICE Project this week — and after 48 episodes, they’re talking honestly about burnout, sustainability, community, and what it takes to keep showing up as Autistic people doing work they care about.
We cover:
- Why we're taking a summer break and what autistic burnout actually looks like in real life
- Energy accounting, reducing barriers, and finding ways to make daily life more sustainable
- The difference between stopping completely and intentionally cutting back before burnout gets worse
- Why asking for help can be part of healthy community care
- Building a podcast without burning ourselves out financially, emotionally, or physically
- Ideas for Patreon, merch, sponsors, and ways listeners can help support the future of the show
- Upcoming plans for Season 2, including new guests from the Autistic community, artists, and creators
Also: leaking foundation walls, Prius appreciation, shampoo-bodywash-conditioner ”all-in-one goo,” PBS pledge drive energy, dethroning Joe Rogan, Dan Aykroyd's elusive guest appearance, Star Wars memes, Godzilla sponsorship dreams, and Bob from Topeka.
We're taking the summer to rest, regroup, and build something more sustainable behind the scenes. Thank you for listening, sharing, and being part of this community.
We'll see you in August.
