What does it really mean to be ‘on the spectrum’?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often labelled as a disease that affects men more than women. But film director, screenwriter and actor Kathleen Lee is proof it affects women too - but that diagnosis can be harder, or take longer. Playing the main protagonist in her film Sex & Death, Kathleen explores what the experience of being neurodiverse in a neurotypical friendship group, and how those with ASD manage those feelings of social isolation and confusion.    You can watch Sex & Death on SBS Viceland on November 23rd, 2020, as a feature length film.    You can also watch all six episodes of Sex & Death on Youtube here.    You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.   If you’re up for funny memes and health inspo follow Body+Soul on Instagram at @bodyandsoul_au   Or, head to bodyandsoul.com.au for your daily digital dose of health and wellness.   Each Sunday, you can pick up the latest copy of the Body+Soul/Stellar flipbook inside The Sunday Telegraph (NSW), the Sunday Herald Sun (Victoria), The Sunday Mail (Queensland), Sunday Mail (SA) and Sunday Tasmanian (Tasmania). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
