In this episode, we are busting the most common autism myths that still circulate today! Whether you are an autistic adult, a parent of a newly diagnosed child, a therapist like us, or an educator, understanding the truth about autistic individuals is crucial.

We're answering this listener question:

• My partner says I’m "cold" or "dismissive" when we argue because I try to find logical solutions instead of just comforting them. How do I explain my communication style without sounding like I'm making excuses or not caring?

And we're covering myths like:

- Autistic sense of justice or justice sensitivity

- Whether or not autistic people have empathy

- Literal thinking

- Direct communication

Plus other common things that get thrown around all of the time when discussing autism or the autism spectrum. Want to check in on your own knowledge? Give it a listen!
