Description
It’s episode two and Robyn and Jamie are keen to share their ‘special interests’ with you, and talk to callers on our phone-out (not a phone-in) about their passions. Sometimes thought of as negative, autistic people often have the ability to seriously focus on things that interest them and this is why the geek image has emerged.

Listen and enjoy. Email [email protected] if you want to get a message to our hosts. [A transcript will appear here imminently]
