In this episode, I discuss my experiences as an autistic person seeking diagnosis. Recent events have only made it more important to speak out about neurodivergence. I recently wrote a Facebook account about my own experiences; something I have been relatively quiet about. I wanted my family and friends to understand what it means to be neurodivergent. But most importantly, I wanted everyone to understand that those of us on the spectrum are NOT diseased people who need curing.
