S1 E8 - Neurodivergent Neuropsychologist Amaris Avellan Part 2

Recorded  6-06-20: You don’t want to miss this one! We had so much fun talking  with our friend, Amaris Avellan (@ultraviolet_spectrum, @reg), that we  had to make this one a two-parter! On  the long awaited part 2, we talk about how Amaris felt when a family  member questioned her autism diagnosis, what Alexthymia feels like,  being an autistic mom of three children, Amaris’s relationship with her  Dad, autistic “superpowers”, energy work, what it’s like running an  autistic advocacy account and so much more! Amaris also shares some compelling and personal stories about what it’s like as a black autistic woman. Please check out Amaris’s new podcast, “Accidental Enlightenment”! It’s amazing! https://open.spotify.com/show/7A34I426LN0lUpTJc1Osj5?si=YZ7ifRVmRJigyV-Rhezknw Amaris is a Psychological Assistant and a Doctoral Candidate. Her  clinical interests have gravitated towards serving communities of  color, exploring the connection between the brain and behavior, and  autism spectrum disorders in pediatric and adult minority populations.
