Autistic Licence S2 E17: Elisabeth - A Lived Experience Of Difference
We have a treat for you today - our guest conversation with Elisabeth. 💛🧡
Elisabeth shares her story generously and insightfully. We speak about late diagnosis and the idea of a second adolescence. We contrast medicalised perspectives with the neurodiversity paradigm, for example in navigating group contexts.
We explore the intersectionality of queer and neurodivergent communities. We also discuss "coming out" and parallels between the neurodiversity movement and the LGBTQIA+ movement in the 80s and 90s. We speak of difference, stigma and making sense of our lived experiences in an ever changing landscape.
We end with discussing the significance of justice for us, on a micro and a macro scale.
We loved engaging with Elisabeth and were so intrigued that we continued the conversation after our call ended (to be released soon!)
