A Diagnosis Doesn’t Define You: Thriving with Asperger’s PH196

At age 20, Sarah Adams was surprised to learn she had Asperger Syndrome.

 

She had taken advanced classes in school, played competitive sports, attended college, and overall enjoyed a happy, healthy childhood.

 

After receiving her diagnosis, some of the symptoms and signs of the condition she experienced as a child began to make sense.

 

Rather than feel limited by her diagnosis, Sarah has been able to use this knowledge as a powerful tool, implementing strategies to be successful in both her personal and professional lives.  In this episode, we chat about what it was like to be diagnosed with a developmental disorder later in life, how CrossFit plays a role in keeping her balanced, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a community of friends and family for support.
