Hey guys and welcome to episode 1 of Seeing Through The Spectrum. As I say in the episode there is a trigger warning for discussions using gendered language, any misused language (we are still always learning) and discussions around Mental Health.
Here is the blog post where I discuss the diagnosis process!

This episode features Amy Fawcett, a friend and old housemate of mine who has 2 brothers with an Autism diagnosis. Having been in the lives of all three of us for our diagnosis' she gives an interesting insight into how she spotted those traits, how much she has learnt and how you can support someone with a new diagnosis.
I hope you enjoy this episode!
