Thank you so much for having me.
I'm happy to be here.
Yeah, so I think so just a little bit about myself.
My name is Charlotte Batcher again.
I am a late diagnosed um
autistic adult, I have ADHD, I have bifoliary two and a couple of other diagnosis.
I did not
um come into my disabilities or my disabilities didn't really make themselves present until I was eighteen.
I was diagnosed with bipolar two at eighteen in the middle of my freshman year at Michigan State University and I kinda had to step away from school, um, move back home and really
reanalyze what I wanted my life to be and what goals would be possible for me because I'm dealing with this due diagnosis.
I'm dealing with these, you know, emotions and feelings that are, you know, exasperated by the condition and also dealing with a little bit of burnout and
All of those sorts of things that come with a big life transition.
So um I think if I could go back and tell my 18 year old self something, it would be it's okay to have goals, but it's important to be flexible about them.
As long as you accomplish them, how you get there isn't as important as reaching the destination, in my opinion.
So
Um, I decided after that experience that I wanted to be a self advocate.
So I started working with disability rights organizations here in Michigan.
I s got on social media, started sharing my story, started writing for different publications and um that kind of um
got me where I am today.
I'm a type of person that loves a framework or a kind of guideline, you know, being an autistic person.
