Not Your Mama's Autism (NYMA)

NYMA is the brainchild of Lola Dada-Olley, an attorney, advocate, lifetime caregiver and storyteller. Season 1 of this podcast chronicles the story of her family's experiences with autism through a multi-generational lens. Lola is both the older sibling to a non-verbal man living with autism and now the mother of two children on the autism spectrum.  Since then, the podcast has evolved into an interview style podcast that captures the stories and experiences of the greater global neurodivergent community, including the people who support them. NYMA takes on topics like autism awareness now compared to thirty years ago, past and current health care interventions, authentic allyship, special education, disability rights broken down by zip code, community policing, marriage therapy along the autism journey, intersectionality of race and disability, corporate inclusion efforts and much more.
