Episode 110: Special Guest, Chelsea Webster (The Joy Thief: Writer, Activist, Joy Seeker & Campaigner)

On today’s show* I have the wonderful special guest Chelsea Webster. Chelsea is many things - an autistic adhder, writer, activist, joy seeker & campaigner to name just a few. You may know her as The Joy Thief online through her instagram and substack publication.

Writing from a disabled, neurodivergent, and working-class perspective, her work centers on how modern societal power systems steal individual happiness, and how people can actively reclaim it. Chelsea is the cohost of the AuDHD Unpacked Podcast & creator of The Autism Support Group which is a low-cost, autistic-led, and neuro-affirming virtual space designed to connect and validate autistic adults. We will of course be chatting about the many, many things Chelsea does!
