Growing Up Autistic - Madizen Show #3

Tyler and I visit the swings at our local park and I interview him about his experiences growing up autistic. Then we finish our conversation while we walk around a pond. Tyler tells me about his diagnosis at age 3 to present day experiences. I also share my journey. I learn several things about him from this conversation. I hope you learn something new too! 0:00 Intro 0:20 Diagnosis 2:16 School 4:30 Learning style 5:00 Song chords 7:11 DJ/Emcee 8:57 Navigating autism 17:00 Current challenges 19:18 Strengths 25:10 Making friends 28:21 Special interests 29:21 Dream job 30:26 Technical difficulties 33:10 Dating history 34:19 What's changed since LOTS? 35:25 What does being autistic mean to you? 37:20 Conclusion
