My Adult Autistic Experience: what I want my friends and family to know

In this video, I talk about misinformation and stereotypes that kept me from Autistic recognition for 42 years. I once believed some outdated myths about what Autism actually is. Then I get into my reality as an Autistic adult and discuss some of the sensory, emotional and social accommodations I need.
