Am I Aspie or Autistic?
‘Am I Aspie or Autistic?’ Is a podcast mini series devoted to sharing the findings from a study by Olivia Smith and Sandra Jones (2020) on experiences of people with an Aspergers Diagnosis after DSM-5 changed it to Autism Spectrum Disorder. Made by psychology graduate, autism researcher and podcaster Joana Simmons, this mini-series zooms in on the DSM, disability identity, neurodiversity and speaks directly to the experience of those folks who were diagnosed with Asperger’s, now ASD, to understand their responses and how it impacted their identity.

We look at where to from here: the limitations of the current research we have covered, future ways the ground work we have covered could be extended upon and also how this knowledge could be applied in real life.
