Surviving Scientology, Living With Autism, & Challenging The System

FROM SCIENTOLOGY TO AUTISM ADVOCACY: A CONVERSATION WITH SILVIA KUSADA What happens when someone who has experienced life inside Scientology turns their attention to advocating for autistic and neurodivergent individuals? Join me for a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation with Silvia Kusada, a former Scientologist, independent thinker, and founder of Advocacy for Autism, Highly Sensitive & Neurodivergent Safety. Silvia shares her experiences with Scientology, her personal journey as an autistic woman with significant sensory sensitivities, and why she believes society needs to rethink how we support neurodivergent individuals. We’ll explore the impact of sensory overload, environmental stress, trauma, psychological manipulation, and the importance of creating safe, inclusive spaces. We’ll also discuss some potentially controversial questions about mental health treatment, personal autonomy, advocacy, and accountability. Can our environments contribute to emotional distress? Are we doing enough to accommodate neurodivergent people? And what can we learn from someone who has experienced both high-control systems and the challenges of living with autism? This is an open, respectful conversation intended to encourage understanding, curiosity, and critical thinking. We don’t have to agree on everything to learn from one another. Grab your coffee, bring your questions, and join us! ☕ But First Coffee with Suzy Oberholtz Where conversations matter, differences are welcome, and we’re always better together. #Scientology #FormerScientologist #AutismAdvocacy #Neurodiversity #AutismAwareness #SensoryProcessing #MentalHealth #ComplexPTSD #HighControlGroups #AutisticAdults #SensoryOverload #ButFirstCoffee #SuzyOberholtz Want to create live streams like this?
