In this episode of the Not Your Mama's Autism Podcast, we feature Natasha Mynhier, award winning-director "In A Beat", a movie about a black mother, her autistic son and the dynamics underlying their relationship. I speak with Natasha about the reasons behind why she wanted to depict neurodivergent storytelling in a way that highlighted autism through a diverse lens.

We also speak about the decision process she underwent in making casting and personnel decisions and the importance of having a neurodiverse team on a project like this. Take a listen and let us know what you think. If you like what you hear and haven't done so already, please leave a five star review on Apple Podcasts.
