We’re excited to welcome Carolyn Kiel, host of the award-winning Beyond Six Seconds podcast, to discuss neurodivergent representation in media through the lens of Phoebe from Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Together, we explore how Phoebe’s dry humor, masking, and unique way of connecting reflect authentic autistic experiences.
Carolyn also opens up about her own journey of discovering she was autistic later in life and how interviewing neurodivergent individuals helped her better understand herself. Her insights highlight the power of connection and self-discovery through shared stories.
We dive into topics like affirming parenting for neurodivergent kids, mindfulness in navigating grief and trauma, and the importance of communication and love languages for deeper relationships.
Be sure to check out Carolyn’s incredible podcast, Beyond Six Seconds, for inspiring stories and resources for the neurodivergent community. Much love to Carolyn and to you all for joining this meaningful conversation! 🌟
