On the Human Spectrum
Autistic (doctor/writer) friends compare contrast and giggle
My guest today is a wonderful friend who shares her experience as an adult realizing that she’s on the autistic spectrum.
I refer to her as aka-K because she feels uncomfortable with her actual name being out there.
Aka K is a physician, turned writer, parent of an autistic nonbinary trans child, and married to a physician-scientist. And funnily enough- that describes my background as well.
In this episode, we compare notes about how we feel about autism in our lives. And aka- K surprised me with some of her answers.
