Autistic Licence S2 E24: Meaghan Ray, Part One: One Identity At A Time
We're joined for this episode by Meaghan Ray from Edmonton in Canada.
Meaghan Ray speaks about their process of coming to know their autistic self. They share the value within this of real time processing with a friend, particularly as it relates to the "doing" of being autistic in daily adult life.
Meaghan Ray shares some unique aspects of their childhood which led to the development of self awareness and self efficacy from a young age. They reflect on having found their place within the queer community as a non binary person and how the learning from this has mapped onto their autistic journey also.
We speak about masking and in particular about the repression of stimming as a specific area Meaghan Ray has been working on unlearning as an adult.
Meaghan Ray also shares some parenting wisdom with us and we return to the topic of stimming, pivoting into a wider conversation about autistic enjoyment and immersion. 💛🧡
