Autistic women and late diagnosis with Clara Törnvall

This series we are spilling the tea on topics that affect our health and well-being from the extra-ordinary women that are raising their voices for positive changeToday we are thrilled to be spilling the tea with our guest Clara Törnvall an inspiring advocate for neurodiversity. Clara has been a journalist and producer since the early 2000's. Her first book, The Autists, women on the spectrum is a memoir that was written after her diagnosis of autism at the age of 42. Clara chats to us about her latest book, The Autists Guide To The Galaxy, which is a playful guide to understanding the world of neurotypical people which flips the usual script about neurodivergence. Join us as we explore the galaxy through Clara's eyes. It’s a reading week for our Book Collective this week. We are reading chapters 13-19 of our new book for series 11, All Fours by Miranda July.
