In this conversation we break down what it really means to be perceptive and why highly sensitive people excel in this area. Rachel Radway—who is autistic with ADHD—shares her incredible journey and wisdom from her award-winning book, Perceptive. She tells about learning she's autistic, tuning into her senses and understanding how she makes choices. She reveals the challenges and benefits of being an autistic person living in a highly sensory world.

In this episode you'll discover how autistics are wired to be highly sensitive and inherently perceptive.
