Ever wondered how a simple day feels when the world’s volume is turned way up? Dive in with me as we explore not just the clinical descriptions of autism, but the real, raw, personal side of it all based on my experiences as someone on the spectrum. For a little background, I have both ADHD and autism, and my diagnosis came quite late in life. Now I'm here to give some insight to help you understand some behaviors that you might see when interacting with autistic people in your life.
From the whirlwind of sensory overloads to the solace found in routines, and yes, even those unexpected quirks that sometimes make my day or throw a wrench in the works. We're diving deep!
*NOTE: This is the same awesome video as "10 Behaviors of People with Autism" - without the background music, by popular demand. Enjoy! (If you want the version with background music, here it is: • 10 Behaviors of People... )
