Literally Autistic - Trailer

Imagine being Neurotypical... able to understand emotions and give proper emotional responses, to be social and have friends. Now take a step back.... You have Autism.. you're on the Autistic Spectrum and all that I described before is not possible... Like all people on the autism spectrum, people who are high functioning have a hard time with social interaction and communication. They don’t naturally read social cues and might find it difficult to make friends. They can get so stressed by a social situation that they shut down. They don’t make much eye contact or small talk. People on the spectrum who are high-functioning can also be very devoted to routine and order. They might have repetitive and restrictive habits that seem odd to others. There’s a wide range of how they do with school and work. Some do very well in school, while others get overwhelmed and can’t concentrate. Some can hold a job, and others find that really hard to do. It all depends on the person and the situation. But even for someone on the spectrum who can do a lot, the commonality among those diagnosed with ASD is underdeveloped social skills. This podcast focuses on my Autism and what it does to my life every day. You won't want to miss this!...
