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!
