Introvertendo, occasionally credited as Introvertendo - Autismo por Autistas (In portuguese: Introverting - Autism by Autistics), was a Brazilian podcast made between 2018 and 2023. With content about autism, it gained notoriety for being the first podcast made by autistic people in Brazil.

Contents

Originally created by autistic students from the Federal University of Goiás, Introvertendo addressed autism issues in adult life. The programme began its activities independently, with weekly episodes related to autism and other topics of interest to the members, all presented by Tiago Abreu. In 2020, after changes in the podcast's staff, other members started presenting it. That same year, the podcast began to be produced by Superplayer & Co, and its audience grew, coming to be considered one of the best programmes of 2020 in a portuguese list by Apple Podcasts. [1]

Throughout its history, Introvertendo has become known as one of the forerunners in the discussion of autism by autistic people in Brazil on the podcasting scene, which has influenced later productions in the same format. The debate on topics such as cultural representations and sexuality from an autistic perspective has come to be seen as a different way of observing the daily lives of people on the autism spectrum. [2] [3] The podcast has also gained notoriety for its accessibility features, especially on its website, which includes audio description, transcription of all episodes and a Brazilian Sign Language plug-in. [4]

In April 2016, a therapeutic group for people diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, [5] was created at the Federal University of Goiás, in Goiânia, Brazil. [6] [7] The group was formed by five people – Luca, Marcos, Michael, Otavio and Tiago – that later became the founders of Introvertendo. [8]

The first Introvertendo episode was released in May 2018. It was the first Brazilian podcast produced by autistic people. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

In 2019, Introvertendo hosts started publishing in Revista Autismo . [15] In September 2019, Introvertendo received an award from Expocom, delivered by Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação. [16] [17]

In 2020, Introvertendo was no longer an independent production, and started being distributed by Superplayer & Co. In March of the same year, a Brazilian Sign Language version of the podcast was launched. [4] [12]

In 2023, the Introvertendo team announced that the programme would come to an end. The final episode aired on 22 September 2023. [18]

Format

Over the years, Introvertendo has been a continuously released podcast, with weekly episodes, usually on Fridays. The structure most often explored by the show was the free conversations between the members, usually on topics that were included in the title of episode. Among the topics most frequently covered by the show were late diagnosis of autism in adults, inclusion at school and university, challenges of social interactions and characteristics of autism. [18] Until the end of 2019, the podcast also explored topics outside of autism, such as episodes on religion, the FIFA World Cup and afterlife. From episode 20 to episode 80, all the episodes with a number ending in 0 dealt with the discography of some artist or band, such as Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Manic Street Preachers and the britpop movement. [19]

Another feature of the programme was the inclusion of reading emails sent by fans, who could be other autistic people, but also family members, professionals and other people interested in the subject of autism. In 2022, emails were replaced by audios, which could be sent via WhatsApp or Instagram. Introvertendo was available on various podcast download and streaming platforms, such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Amazon Music and Deezer. [19]

Over the five years, the programme featured more than 150 guests, most of them related to the brazilian autism community. Among the notable names who have appeared in episodes are figures such as Andréa Werner, Márcia Wayna Kambeba, Mauricio de Sousa, Nicolas Brito Sales, Renata Simões and Tito Aureliano. Members of associations and organisations related to autism also appeared on the podcast, such as members of the Movimento Orgulho Autista Brasil (MOAB), Associação Brasileira para a Ação por Direitos das Pessoas Autistas (Abraça), Instituto Autismo & Vida, Associação Nacional para Inclusão das Pessoas Autistas (Ania), Organização Neurodiversa pelos Direitos dos Autistas (Onda) and Núcleo de Arte e Inclusão do Autista (Naia).
