Deep dives
Growing up with outdated conceptions of autism
The podcast explores the experiences of individuals who grew up with outdated conceptions of autism. In the past, autism was primarily associated with males and the popular representation was based on the character in the movie 'Rain Man'. Many individuals who were actually autistic went undiagnosed, leading to feelings of not fitting in and struggling to understand why. Later diagnosis as adults proved to be life-changing, providing a sense of self-understanding and acceptance.
