2 women who diagnosed well into adulthood were interviewed. One is an American professor who was recently elected to her local school board as an out Autistic. One is a British journalist who has written a book about her experiences. They also take a few call from people who were also diagnosed as adults.
Living On The Autism Spectrum: Women Talk About Their Diagnoses As Adults
If the two women happen to be wrong planet members, I want to say thank you. I know that it is a lot of pressure to represent such a diverse community but I think you did very well. I think listeners will come away knowing more about autistic people.
Congratulations Sarah on your recent election.
