Podtism creates a platform for authentic voices in the autism community to share experiences, dispel myths, and build understanding across neurotypes.
Our Approach
Through interviews with experts, self-advocates, and families, we explore autism from multiple perspectives, creating content that's informative, respectful, and accessible.
Our Impact
By amplifying diverse autistic voices, we're changing the narrative around autism and building bridges of understanding in a world that's just beginning to appreciate neurodiversity.
Meet Your Host: Ryan Neale
Ryan is an autistic writer, speaker, and storyteller who proudly brings his authentic voice to Podtism.
As co-founder of UCLA's Bruin Neurodiversity Collective, he created the university's first student-led organization by and for neurodivergent students.
After years of masking his diagnosis, Ryan now leads honest, funny conversations about autism that break down barriers and build understanding.
His work with the Neurodivergent Youth Empowerment Fund supports the next generation of autistic creatives and leaders nationwide.
