Awkward As Duck
This is a podcast of unapologetically Autistic conversations. I am on a mission to get to know my neurokin - one fascinating guest and one(-ish) topic at a time. Join us for much infodumping, overexcitement, indulging in wild tangents, losing our words, laughing too loud, ramblings and rants, and otherwise awkward, incredible and gloriously Autistic ways of being and connecting.

Us Autists tend to go all in on our passions and interests, and it is no different when that interest is getting tattoos. I chat to Ava, a tattoo enthusiast who takes us on a journey through the gorgeous artworks that have become part of her body over the past 30 years, each with their own meaning and stories.
Ava's original tattoo artist is www.adamsky.com.
