Unmasking Social
Welcome to Unmasking Social – the podcast where autistic teens and young adults, families, and professionals come together to explore real, authentic ways of building friendships, community, and identity.
Hosted by a speech-language pathologist with nearly 15 years' experience with autism and ADHD and social communication, this show goes beyond basic advice. Each episode features candid conversations with self-advocates, educators, mental health professionals, and teens themselves – all unmasking the myths and pressures around “fitting in.”
Whether you’re navigating social expectations, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how we connect in a complex world, Unmasking Social is here to empower you with strategies that align with our core values: empathy, curiosity, and self-acceptance.

36: Autism, Strength, and Proving People Wrong with Logan Ng
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Logan shares his journey from being underestimated because of his autism to building his own path as an entrepreneur in the video game world. He opens up about what it felt like when others assumed he had limited abilities, how those messages affected him, and what helped him keep going even when the path forward was not easy. His message is consistently about getting back up and that failure makes you stronger, once you get back up.
We talk about resilience, self-belief, communication, and the determination it takes to prove people wrong without losing yourself in the process. Logan’s story is a powerful reminder that autism is nuanced and holds a world of brilliant and creative minds, and that being misunderstood early on does not mean someone cannot lead, create, and succeed.
This conversation will resonate with autistic teens and adults, families, and professionals who want to better understand the impact of low expectations and the power of persistence.
