We want this podcast to be a community of people sharing their stories about being gay, being parents, having autism, raising kids with autism and, in our case, all of the above.In this world, it's easy to feel alone and feel like no one understands you. Sometimes all you need to hear is someone else complain about their kids or struggle with anxiety and suddenly, you're not so alone. That's what we want to offer.We're not here to give advice. We may be a GP and a high school teacher between us, but that doesn't mean we know everything. That's not the point. We're not here to judge or teach. We are just here to be with you and hopefully, you'll hang out with us too.Please hang out with us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

AR AV Club: Sailor Moon

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
In between fan-girling over Sailor Moon, Paul talks about the recent update, Sailor Moon Crystal, and the inclusion of a non-binary character, and two homosexual relationships. They also veer into the world of Japanese Role Playing Games, and the fetishisation of lesbianism and the female form in some Japanese anime and games. Finally, they share their love of life simulator and farming games, especially Story of Seasons where they each got the chance for their male characters to marry another boy.

AR AV Club: It's A Sin

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
We review It's A Sin, written and created by Russel T Davies. We talk about how the show could be perceived as perpetuating old fears about HIV without balancing it with up to date facts, how it depicts real situations that gay people of that era had to face, and the importance of sexual education for teenagers of all sexualities.

His & His-tory: Adding A Dog

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Time for a fun story about getting our new Jack Russell Terrier, Zack! We talk about how Coronavirus helped us save enough money to buy him, how Matt chose him name by staring into his eyes, why we feel guilty for not adopting a dog instead (but also why it totally wasn't out fault), and how weird Zack is (making him a perfect member of the family).

The Rainbow Dissection: Dave Chappelle

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
We talk about the recent, but really not that recent, controversy around Dave Chappelle's new Netflix special, The Closer, particularly as it pertains to being anti-trans, pro-TERF, and homophobic. We explore the nature of cancel culture, what might be the best way to meter out the justice, and make comparisons between Dave Chappelle and J.K. Rowling about why one might be easier to cancel than the other. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Rainbow Dissection: Misinformation

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
In what has to be our boldest discussion yet, we tackle the misinformation being spread about trans people, gay marriage, abortion, and COVID vaccines, and take a run at the Australian Christian Lobby and pointing out their hypocrisy. As always, we throw in random pop culture references to Parks and Recreation and Malcolm Gladwell, just to keep it light, but it's mostly political, so hold onto your bipartisan party hats, because it's a political episode, people.

AR AV Club: Talking To Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Though Paul badly explains the book, he does his best to present the key issues raised in Talking To Strangers: the very human behaviour of default to truth, the illusion of transparency and the importance of context. We broaden the discussion to talk about why we remember bad things better than good things, why we need to allow each other to change rather than holding onto fixed ideas, and how stereotypes are both human, but problematic.

Spectrum Analysis: The Uncomfortable Thing

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
We've been avoiding talking about COVID too much in Season 2, but now we're facing it head on by talking about things that make us feel uncomfortable in this COVID era, like vaccines and wearing masks. We talk about how a country's culture has impacted their perspective on COVID, the parallels with the London Blitz and what the difference between a "remote miss" and a "near miss" is, and the issues around consent for people with intellectual disability. It's a long and complex episode, people, but we hope it gives you a bit more to think about. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Atypical Philosophy: Death (Part 2) - Family and Death Walkers

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
In this 2nd episode on death, we talk about how to have the conversation with your parents and your children, and whether or not the family left behind get to decide what your funeral looks like. It's a surprisingly lighthearted episode, so we hope you enjoy it. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Atypical Philosophy: Death (Part 1) - Obligation and memory

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
In a much delayed episode release, for reasons that should be clear, we talk about the recent death of a family member. We process how it affected us, how we feel about funerals, and how to manage the conflicting feelings of mourning someone that you're not sure you know all that well, or no longer recognise as the person you cared for.

AR AV Club: The Mitchells Vs. The Machines

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
In another example of Paul over-relating to the content, we discuss parent-child relationships, how autism can affect one's familial interactions and argue about whether or not the queer representation in The Mitchells Vs. The Machines was obvious enough. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Spectrum Analysis: Exam Anxiety

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Inspired by Puzzle Rush, an episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast, we take the autistic perspective on exam performance and ask whether or not all the anxiety around it actually equates to anything of value. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Atypical Philosophy: Adulting

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Do you ever wish you were 16 again? Is it because of your good looks? Your group of friends? Me, I like the idea of having no responsibility. I miss having no responsibility. That's what we talk about in this episode - what does it take to be an adult, and why can't we treat adults like kids, giving them support and care and expecting only so much from them? Why do we tell each other that we have to be okay with being alone? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Atypical Philosophy: Medical Discrimination

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Medical discrimination is everywhere and creates barriers for LGBTQIA+ people and people with a disability, reducing access to services, and reducing the likelihood that medical assistance will be sought in times of need. Why is it there and how do we overcome it? Let us try and solve that with our fast-paced ramblings. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Atypical Philosophy: How To Be A Good Person

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
What does it take to be a good person? What entitles a person to forgiveness? Where is the line beyond which redemption is not achievable? We superficially answer these questions, while namedropping The Drum, The Good Place, New Girl and other TV shows, on this week's episode of The Atypical Rainbow.

His & His-tory: Travel Tales

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Travelling with kids is hard enough. Try travelling with autistic twins. We spent time building up their resilience, getting them used to being away from home and equipping ourselves with every piece of electronic entertainment imaginable in preparation for our first overseas trip, which turned out to be a massive success, not because of our preparation, but because Japan is amazing and has all the things we love: Nintendo, Pokemon and joyous people.\r\n\r\n See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\r\n

Spectrum Analysis: Diagnosis

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
We talk about our personal experiences with the diagnostic process, plus Paul throws in some of the more clinical aspects for a peek behind the medical curtain. If you ever wondered whether you or someone else had autism but weren\'t sure what to look for, this is the episode to listen to.\r\n\r\n See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\r\n

The Rainbow Dissection: The Tokenism Trap

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Inclusion and diversity in media: people talk about it, but how do you go about doing it? We talk about good examples (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and bad examples (The Little Mermaid), and whether you need to represent the entire spectrum of personality archetypes within the rainbow in order to be balanced. \r\n\r\n See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\r\n

AR AV Club: Music

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
Look, you can watch Music if you like, but we only did it so we could comment on it, and there\'s a lot to comment on. From the use of physical restraint, to the difference between autism and Intellectual Disability, to the idea of the \"magical disabled person\", to casting autistic people in autistic roles, and finally listing better media about disability (TV shows like Speechless and Everything\'s Gonna Be Okay).

AR AV Club: The Prom

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
In our first ever AR AV Club, we talk about The Prom, directed by Ryan Murphy based on the Broadway musical, and explore the issues around it in a very Atypical way. We talk about James Corden\'s \"gay-face\" portrayal, gay representation, and spend an awful lot of time debating about whether we should only support good gay cinema, or whether we should celebrate all of it.\r\n\r\n See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\r\n

Spectrum Analysis: Hell Is Other People

Episode in The Atypical Rainbow
We apologise for the lengthy conversation about telehealth in Australia. You might find it interesting. Maybe. We\'re sorry.\r\nOtherwise, there is far more interesting discussion about how to navigate office relationships, and how autism can affect how we expect our co-workers to behave. \r\n\r\n\r\n See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\r\n
