My Autism Story ft. Dr. Lauren Kerwin
from You Wish · host Holly Madison
I've wanted to do this episode since before the podcast had a name. I've been pretty open about my autism diagnosis over the past few years, but I'm not an expert — so I brought one in. Dr. Lauren Kerwin is the Harvard and UCLA trained clinical psychologist who actually diagnosed me, and we spent this episode going through all the questions you guys sent in. We get into what the spectrum actually looks like, why women get misdiagnosed so often, what masking really costs you, and why the McDonald's manager who hated me finally makes sense.
