S1 E2-Julia Malkin-Ren

Today’s interview is not to be missed.  My friend, Julia, who wasn’t diagnosed until she was 40, has some incredible insights to share today.  She was awarded the MBE in the UK for her innovation in developing new methods of teaching and instruction specifically for autistics learning to drive a car.  She is a driving instructor, autism coach, and has more degrees and certificates than I can count.  She completed her Master’s and her PhD AT THE SAME TIME!  Her insights into what we need to know and how to prepare for a diagnosis as an adult will make you stop and think.  This conversation will touch you as she shares her experiences of helping other autistics have a voice in the world and what she is doing now to continue to help every day.  You can find Julia on Facebook at: Julia Pistrucci Malkin-Ren. Mind Your Autistic Brain Podcast hosted by The Social AUtie, that’s me, Carole Jean.  I am a late identified, adult autistic and each week I will be sharing an interview with another late identified, adult autsitc to share their voice, experiences and journey with you.  I am only one voice among many and I can’t wait to share my incredible friends with you and let you know that you are not alone on this autism journey, we are here with you.
