Unmasking My Autistic Self

from The Fat Doctor Podcast · host Dr Asher Larmie

Send us Fan Mail We’re doing things slightly different this week (it is episode 13, after all). As a 44-year-old doctor who recently discovered I'm autistic, I'm sharing my personal journey of self-discovery for Autism Awareness Day. In yet another deeply personal episode, I walk through the signs I missed in myself while recognizing them in my kids, how I've been masking my whole life, and why I'm now embracing a more authentic way of living and working. I also explain why I'm done trying to build a business the neurotypical way and how I'm restructuring my work to avoid burnout while still continuing to create content I love. If you've ever wondered about late-diagnosed autism or are feeling burnt out trying to follow other people's rules, this one's for you! Got a question for the next podcast?
