A few years ago when I stumbled upon the world of autism and social media, one of the first blogs I read by an autistic adult was a blog called Autistic Not Weird written by Chris Bonnello. Since then I've got to know Chris a little bit and was really excited to talk to him on this episode and find out his story about autism.
We get to talk about what life was like for Chris in his younger years, knowing he was different but not having a diagnosis. How his life changed once he received his diagnosis as an adult, and what being autistic has meant for him building relationships and having a career.
We also talk about some of Chris most popular blog posts, and some of the great advice he has for parents of children with autism.
You can find out more about Chris on his blog http://autisticnotweird.com/ which has all of the original articles that he talks about. You should also check out his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/autisticnotweird/?ref=br_rs
