    I have to say, as an autistic person it is so nice and so beautiful to see another autistic person being welcomed with open arms for being their full authentic self. In many of our experiences, it's rare to be received so well and so respectfully from another person. It's especially amazing to see it happen on such a large stage. For the first time I feel represented and it warms my heart. I also really feel like more people would really vibe more with autistic people if they gave us a chance and got past their weird hang ups and misconceptions about us

      ​@@BeeWhistler Thank you for the term Allistic. I had been using "neurotypical" up to now, but they are not, they are even more diverse as a group than we are. So allistic seems appropriate. Wondering about the capital, though. I think --- people is a nice addition. You cannot get autistic dogs, so dogs are definitely included in the all of allistic (I know it stands for allos, meaning other, I looked it up, but I just read it as short for "all others" in my mind and I think most people will do).
      So "allistic people" narrows it down nicely, because you can have allistic animals, unlike autistic animals.
      I am a bit suspicious of this culture of counter-labeling. Cisgendered, priviliged, you know, that kind of thing. Do we need more words to say that we are all different? That everybody can be put in a little box eventually?
      It seems a bit divide and conquer. I think it´s from the bible: do unto others, that which you don´t like them doing to you. An eye for an eye, leaves everybody blind.

    To a certain degree you hide from the audience behind the punchline.. while fully exposed, alone on a stage, with all eyes scrutinizing your every move. Seems to me the whole point of was not to hide anything from the audience. She used the punchlines strategically to release tension, or to address absurdity, while sidestepping out from behind it, so the punch didn't obscure the harsh truths at all. Brilliant isn't a shiny enough word for it.

      J G I’m guessing you are one of those that do not harass or assault women, and also are upset that those women who have been assaulted have a dim view of men. She was raped as a child, and does have little good to say of men who harass and assault and mistreat women and girls. Picasso was one. The #metoo movement has opened many eyes to the huge scope of the issue. Statistics say you know a few women who have been assaulted or harassed.
      Hannah speaks out hard because she suffered and is suffering because her experience was severe. I think it would be hard to forgive those who hurt her and those who told her to put up and be quiet, because men are entitled to treat woman however they please.
      Sorry if you’ve felt upset, because you’re not an abuser, and might even speak out against misogyny, but just because you exist...and good for you....nothing significant will be done until the scope and enormity of the issue is taken seriously. I understand Hannah not being “fair” , because stifling her hard words is denying her right to speak to her truth, which was horrific.

    “I meant warmth but my voice said cold” 😂 For all the non aussies out there “Classic” is an 1980’s Aussie slang term used after someone says or does something funny or to refer to someone or something as funny. E.G. “Hannah is such a classic.” 🤓😂

      Anthony Whelan to each their own. I personally have thought for over a decade she’s funny AF. Her dry weird humour is very Aussie. She is definitely Awkward, that’s part of her charm. Especially since she actually is on the Autism Spectrum. Pretty brave even for neurotypical people let alone someone with Aspergers. Not everyone is gonna laugh at the same things but she is pretty popular globally now and all comedians love her too.

    Booyah! Love my Autistic Tribe 😍
    Awesome to see honesty on TV. It's an anti-dote to the bullcrap spun by corporations and politicians.
    Love that Hannah called out the creepy throw away line! It's really great seeing that on tv as well.

    She's so sharp... "I'm not from around here" you could hear the swooshing sound as that went over Stephen's head.

    Stephen should have her again... I haven't laughed so much during this interview. She's such a treasure.

    Seeing Hannah on the late-night talk show circuit and the Emmies evokes the same kind of feeling as seeing Eric Bana playing serious roles in Hollywood films.

    Being 'weird' myself, I really appreciate all unique, peculiar, out-of-box personalities on this planet. Especially ones that makes us laugh and simply tell people that they should get rock babies instead of having human ones. You go Hannah!
