A Journey of Language, Growth, and Autism Perspectives: Stephen’s Evolution
Step into the extraordinary world of my podcast, where language comes alive through the lens of my autistic perspective. Like the mist of a sunrise gradually revealing the landscape, my journey with language and communication unfolds with clarity and discovery. Join me as I explore idioms, metaphors, and the nuances of expression, weaving them into the story of my lived experiences.
Growing up, language felt like a distant mountain range—challenging yet full of potential. Through reflection and perseverance, I’ve come to understand the profound ways language shapes our connections, perspectives, and growth. My podcast invites you to travel across that landscape with me, exploring a blend of personal insights, linguistic discoveries, and shared understanding.
Through straightforward narratives, I aim to uncover how my evolving relationship with language has illuminated new possibilities, much like sunlight breaking through mist. Together, we’ll examine how words and phrases reflect the deeper layers of human experience and discuss strategies to embrace communication challenges with creativity and compassion.
Tune in to “A Journey of Language, Growth, and Autism Perspectives” to celebrate resilience, embrace individuality, and uncover the beauty of discovery—both in language and in life. Let’s embark on this adventure of empowerment, understanding, and potential together.

A Journey of Language, Growth, and Autism Perspectives: Stephen’s Evolution
Asperger's, my special interests, and their importance
Here, in this episode, I briefly talk about my experiences with living with Aspergers, before moving on to some of my special interests, and their importance to me in terms of my evolution with the condition. My interests are listed below, and have played important roles for me. These include in terms of problem solving skills, de-stressing, pattern and shape recognition, improving my language and general understanding.
5:52 - 6:48 (Section on global warming, which I see as a sensitive subject, as there appear to be increased extreme weather events these days). It is during this section where I mention that I like to be more environmentally friendly, and hope to encourage others to do the same.
Weather and Astronomy 3:12 - 9:50
Piano and Music 9:52 - 13:40
Maths and Computer Curiosity 13:43 - 18:07
Unleashing Creativity through Writing and Photography 18:09 - 21:00
Through creative means, I have improved my language skills, leading to newer interests. These have allowed me to create worlds of my own through writing, based on my long term interests and life experiences, aiming to help others. On top of that, recording colour and shape variety through photography has allowed me to appreciate the autistic spectrum more, including range of abilities and challenges.
Another thing I refer to is trying to find a balance between the amount of time doing a special interest and other important things, such as social skills development.
