This is the main feed for The Autistic Culture Podcast Network, the first podcast network created by and for Autistic people to celebrate our culture, our voices, and our contributions to the world. ACPN was created by a merger of Neurodivergent Experience and the Autistic Culture Podcast. This feed has all of our shows in one place.


Across our shows, we spotlight actually Autistic perspectives and celebrate the depth, brilliance, and diversity of the Autistic experience. Whether you’re Autistic, questioning, or an ally looking to learn, the Autistic Culture Podcast Network invites you into a community where your weird is welcome, your passions are powerful, and your identity is culture.


While our content varies, our programming is rooted in the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture and grounded in the social model of disability, our network offers a range of shows that explore everything from advocacy and identity to history, creativity, and Autistic joy.


Follow this feed and join a growing movement that redefines what it means to be Autistic.
