I really enjoyed this conversation with Stuart Sax on his show, Someone You Should Know! We talked about my podcast (Beyond 6 Seconds), neurodiversity, and the importance & impact of amplifying the experiences of neurodivergent people. www.youtube.com/live/KRDlJDF...
A quote from Max: “We believe in one another because we see each other's strengths. We give real feedback to each other and have high expectations for each other. That's what peer-to-peer connection is all about: learning from each other, telling the truth and building leadership from the inside out.”

My late diagnosis story as a Black Autistic woman. I shared it on the webinar and am sharing it again for Autism Acceptance Month. Black women are often misdiagnosed, diagnosed late, or never diagnosed, facing hurdles and unnecessary trauma just to be seen and heard 🌻
A quote from Kirsty. “I finally had these words for my internal experience. Self-compassion ended up replacing, for the most part, self-blame and shame: realizing that because I'm autistic and have ADHD, it isn't a flaw. It just so happens to be intrinsic to who I am.”
