I am super excited to launch this new, semi-regular feature wherein I review (*insert Julie Andrews singing voice here*) a few of my favourite autistic things—from books and newsy items, to TV shows and movies. Anything with an autistic flavour that takes my fancy...
I hope you like it!

If you live on a certain side of the Atlantic, you may not have heard of Fern Brady, a fantastic Scottish comic who also happens to be autistic.
Since I haven’t lived in the UK for 15 years, I have missed out on a lot of British telly—that’s North American for TV—including the show that made Brady famous, Taskmaster. And so she wasn’t on my radar until recently. I happened to see her Netflix special, Autistic Bikini Queen, after devouring her memoir while on vacation earlier this year.
