You know, it's very intricate to get to know the internal world of another person and how they tick.
And if you aren't naturally wired in the same way and to look at the world the same way, it really does take some inquisitiveness.
Hi, Debbie.
Thanks for making time to talk with me.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Yeah, I've been a therapist for many years.
This has been my only career.
And I didn't know much about autism until one of my kids started talking to me about it as a young adult.
And when that came up, I started reading and researching and recognized that I'm autistic and that I had two autistic kids.
And it's been really a wonderful pivot in my career to
learn about this and get to work with more autistic people.
And so when this book was offered to me to write, I was just really delighted to plow into the research and get even more well-informed about it.
It's been about eight years now.
So I've had a lot of time to get used to the idea and
Kind of construct a new identity because I think something that happens for many of us when we recognize this, especially later in life, is that you do this kind of retrospective and it's like zooming through your life with a wider lens.
And so having that recognition that explains so many events or incidences or experiences is just really a lot to get used to.
Yeah, absolutely.
And also just looking back through what I know of the generations as well and speculating on how my parents, who I now clearly recognize were autistic, may have
sensed things differently from the majority population or just had maybe unusual experiences that I didn't come to recognize until, sadly, it was too late to talk to them about it, but I still kind of feel like I have conversations in my head with them all the time about being autistic.
Absolutely.
