For today’s episode, I got to talk with a thoughtful friend about her Divorce Party.I loved hearing about how she was questioning her assumptions and we both laughed at the need for feeling your darn feelings- so hard sometimes. Plus we talked learning stick shift and flying jets. I had a great time and hope you enjoy as well.

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.  https://onthehumanspectrum.org/
