About this listen

I was born at the time when autism was being spun off from schizophrenia into developmental delays. I did not fit the "as-of-then" markers to be diagnosed (issues with learning, disruptive behavior), so I went through the system without a diagnosis (or even knowing what autism was).

This book is actually a presentation I give which goes over how the understanding of the autism spectrum has morphed and been redefined, and how individuals like me (diagnosed or not) experience the world, including developing masks and coping mechanisms, and of course, train wrecks.

I am not aiming for pretty, polished, or professional - this isn't an academic book. I want you to see inside my head. I am in my 50s. Autism is still a very real part of my existence.

Topics covered will include:
  • A brief history of Autism
  • Is it really increasing?
  • Understanding the undiagnosed population
  • How it works
  • How it affects how I see and experience the world around me
  • Meltdowns
  • How it affects me Socially, learning, at work, etc.
