Absolutely loved this episode! Great idea Scarlett!
Loved the episode!
I understand Scarlett so much. It's exhausting to have the proper response to conversations... NT talk to much about nothing...
I feel a bit like Nicki, in some ways like I stopped at a certain age, although I got married have kids a d have a mortgage. And feel like Scarlett as I talked to everyone a little bit like the same regardless of age or status...
Agree about the way that children have sometimes go through some things. Not always but it will help them in the future.
Scientist! ☺
I have been recently diagnosed at age 38 after 2 of my kids been diagnosed for some years. I identify a lot of what you say about blending in. I went under the radar because of my good grades, and also being a social chameleon... But as I get older it drains my energy... and also have some difficulties decoding people in general due to rational thinking... Great job! 😁
I enjoyed the content in this episode a lot, so thanks for sharing. One thing though--I found the dude host spoke for the woman a lot. I'd rather hear directly from her and a bit less from him in the future.
