The Squarepeg Podcast

Amy Richards was diagnosed autistic at 37 in 2016, and she started this podcast in 2020 to have the conversations she wished had existed when she was figuring things out. Four years and 144 episodes later, The Squarepeg Podcast is one of the most intimate and specific shows about late-identified autism in women and nonbinary people. The format is one-on-one interviews, typically running 50 minutes to over an hour, with guests who share their own stories of late identification, masking, workplace challenges, sensory needs, and identity. Recent guests have included an autistic extrovert talking about energy management, someone exploring AuDHD traits, an executive coach discussing workplace dynamics, and a memoir writer reflecting on sensory needs and relationships. Amy is a gentle, curious interviewer who clearly prepares but also knows when to let a conversation wander. Rated 4.9 stars from 91 reviews. The audience is small but devoted. If you are a woman or nonbinary person who got an autism diagnosis in adulthood -- or suspects you might be autistic -- this show will feel like finding your people. She creates a space where people feel safe being specific about experiences they might normally gloss over in polite conversation. Growing steadily and well worth discovering.
