About the Autistic Culture Podcast Network
The Autistic Culture Podcast Network is the world's first and largest podcast network built entirely by and for Autistic people. We believe that Autistic voices, stories, and lived experiences deserve a dedicated media home; one that doesn't ask us to mask, translate ourselves, or fit into neurotypical frameworks.
Our Mission
The Autistic Culture Podcast Network was founded on a simple but radical premise: Autistic culture is real, it is rich, and it deserves to be celebrated on its own terms. Across more than 40 shows covering health and wellness, identity and advocacy, hobbies, creativity, sport, spirituality, and the arts, our network amplifies the full breadth of Autistic lived experience.
We are not a support network for caregivers or a clinical resource for professionals. We are a media organisation rooted in the neurodiversity movement, committed to the idea that Autistic perspectives have intrinsic value, not just for Autistic people, but for the culture at large. Our shows are hosted by Autistic adults who bring deep expertise, passion, and personal experience to every episode.
We are proudly independent, community-supported, and built on a foundation of authentic storytelling. From late diagnosis journeys and emotional regulation strategies to football analysis, fish keeping, theatre, and artificial intelligence: every show on our network exists because an Autistic person had something important to say and the courage to say it.
Our network is growing. We welcome pitches from Autistic podcasters, collaborations with community organisations, and support from listeners who believe in the power of authentic neurodivergent media. Together, we are building something that didn't exist before: a genuine Autistic media culture.
What We Stand For
Autistic-Led
Every show on our network is hosted by an Autistic person. We do not produce content about Autistic people; we produce content by and for Autistic people.
Neurodiversity-Affirming
We are grounded in the social model of disability and the neurodiversity movement. We do not platform cure narratives or deficit-based framings of Autistic identity.
Community-Centred
Our network exists to serve the Autistic community. We reinvest in our creators, listen to our listeners, and make decisions with our community's wellbeing at the centre.
Radically Accessible
We are committed to making our content as accessible as possible, through transcripts, captions, and a listening experience designed with sensory and cognitive needs in mind.
