Life Would Be Different with a Rule Book for Social Cues and Communication-A Conversation with Charles

During this episode, Mona talks with Charles, who is a social worker who works in the field of alcohol and substance use.  Charles is 27 years old and recently discovered that he is autistic. He shared that he calls himself an "intuitive autistic" and talks about how those gifts and talents help him better understand the clients with whom he works. Charles also talks about how his life might have been different had he known he was autistic. Charles shares how he is looking at various life events and social situations through a neurodiverse lens, to help gain more understanding of why people have responded to him the way they did.  Charles also talks about some of the challenges he has experienced with reading social cues and the nuances of social communication, and how important it is to be able to gauge and understand peoples responses and reactions when he communicates with others.
