Hey there, lovely listener! š In todayās episode of Adulting with Autism, weāre joined by Sol Smithāautistic author, former college professor, viral TikTok educator, and the voice behind the much-anticipated book, The Autisticās Guide to Self-Discovery (launching April 22, 2025!).
Sol shares his late-in-life autism diagnosis, the burnout spiral that followed, and the powerful road to healing, community-building, and radical self-acceptance.
