Send us a text

In this episode, Heather and Kerissa continue our chat with Vinnie Stars about the adult experience of PDA, which includes a fantastic explanation and discussion of "Leveling."
Vinnie is a white queer Autistic / ADHD PDA, vision & hearing impaired survivor, speaker, coach and consultant
who channels positive Autistic / Neurodivergent Identity by creating Liberatory Processing Spaces through their business Square Peg; Round Souls.
After 30 years "trying to make it on Broadway" and 20 years in therapy as a distressed unidentified PDA'er, a theatre colleague identified her Autistic way of being in the world.
She founded Team TLC NYC and was an Independent Consultant for Broadway's How to Dance in Ohio in the area of unconscious bias / Neurodiverse communication differences.
Her one-person show Yeah No debuts in New York City next year and breaks down the marriage of the Theatre Industry and Autism Industry.
She lives in New York with her husband, also an Autistic PDA’er, much cooler than she and inevitably always has a hyperfocus on the important like how your pet is doing.

Join Heather & Kerissa as they share from an authentic & real-life perspective with in-depth conversations around neurodiversity, PDA autism profile, and the autistic experience. This, on occasion, includes sensitive and difficult topics. (Topics include but are not limited to mental health crisis, depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and suicidal ideation.) All listeners need to be aware of their own emotional well-being and ability to engage in such topics.
We offer connection, community & co-regulation. (And a few laughs!)
