Living life with autism is like living life as an underdog.
This week I share a few excerpts from Malcolm Gladwell's book, "David and Goliath," and a couple of the underdog strategies he's noticed throughout history.
Working in an environment with neurotypically brained co-workers is also a difficult experience day after day.
So I also share a few excerpts from a book entitled, "Rising Above a Toxic Workplace," which I found helpful for me to rise above working with people who don't understand how the autistic brain can cause workplace difficulties.
Now that I see my life in hindsight as an underdog, I can see how it's made me strong and enabled me to thrive in difficult situations, so much so that I seek them out!
I love a challenge and learning new skills.
