In episode 2 of Weirdo, Elizabeth draws parallels between Harry from the TV series “ Resident Alien ”, and her life lived through a neurodivergent lens. Extraterrestrial Harry found himself dropped into a strange culture on a strange world, and had to learn the ways of human beings through pop culture references like TV shows and movies. Harry learned to imitate what he saw in order to try to fit in here on Earth. For Elizabeth, living her life through what she now knows a lens of Autism, Harry’s experience reflects parts of her own journey. Suffering from “clinical cluelessness” (a brilliant turn of a phrase), Elizabeth has often found herself having to imitate the behaviors of others in order to respond appropriately to the social cues she reads during interactions with others. This process - known as masking - can be an important tool for a neurodivergent person that may in many ways be immersed in a culture and in social situations that they may not understand or find familiar in any way. Just like Harry! After spending so much time and energy trying to fit in, our “ Resident Alien ” friend Harry was forced by uncontrollable circumstances to reveal himself to his friends as an alien of extraterrestrial origin. When Harry’s friends finally saw him for who he really was, they were able to help him and interact with him in a productive way. When Harry stopped needing to “mask”, his life got better. Listen in to hear how Elizabeth’s diagnosis in many ways has set her free, again, just like Harry. The formerly masking alien. It’s an amazing turn of events, so don’t miss the ending of this one. ----- About Elizabeth Anne Hamilton: Elizabeth Anne Hamilton is your friendly non-binary book marketing weirdo.

Echolalia: The unsolicited repetition of vocalizations made by another person.
