Autistic Representation in Media (Featuring M. Ariel Cascio) - Renegade Free For All #13

August 12, 2025 by Michael Kaye in Free For All, RPC Podcast Network

In this episode, the original founders of the podcast (Mike, Keona, and Josh) are reunited with Jacob for the first time since his departure in 2023. He is joined by M. Ariel Cascio, Ph.D., and Nadine Shetiah to talk about autistic people have been represented in the media.

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, and I am proud to share this episode! It’s been far too long since the last time we recorded a Free For All podcast, especially with the original co-founders reunited. However, when Jacob pitched the idea for this episode, I couldn’t have said yes any faster. It was an absolute pleasure getting the chance to him and his colleagues about the research on autism they’ve been conducting over the last couple years. Without further ado, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion!



That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us, and a special thanks to Jacob, Ariel, and Nadine for stopping by! Check out these links for further information: https://michiganstate.academia.edu/MArielCascio https://www.researchgate.net/profile/M-Cascio
