The Juice with Jeff #104

On this episode of the podcast, Stephanie Toms conducts a fantastic and outstanding interview with me thru Zoom.  This will be the 2nd time that Stephanie has been on the podcast with me.

During the podcast interview, Stephanie asked me a whole bunch of questions focusing on ROMANTIC LOVE and how this topic would affect people like me who are autistic.  She asks me questions such as:

 

Have you ever felt romantic love, a crush or wanted more than friendship from another person?

 

How did the experience of romantic love go and how is this different for you from a friendship with someone?

 

Are you still open to romantic love still?

 

Is there any type of community groups in the Des Moines area for people who are autistic to go to for meeting other people for romantic love, deepening friendships, get togethers, etc....

 

How would that (romantic love, going steady with someone, etc...) look to you and how would you incorporate that into your current living situation, life?

 

Would you get married?

 

At various points of the show, I also bring up Autism Acceptance and how  extremely important it is for us to accept everyone as they are for who they are. And at the end of the podcast, I did my Audrey II (from the Little Shop of Horrors musical and movie) voice impersonation for Stephanie!! After the Audrey II, we talk for a few minutes about the Little Shop of Horrors movie.

 

Stephanie and I had lots of two way conversation throughout the interview along with quite a bit of laughter. This interview was recorded on January 28, 2022, and it lasts for around 37 minutes. As is the case with all of the "The Juice with Jeff" podcasts, funding for this podcast is provided by Realty With Ahart and RandomKid. Enjoy!!
