85: Kirsten Lindsmith - Autism & Neurodiversity ✨
In today’s podcast I interview Kirsten Lindsmith on the topic of Autism and Neurodiversity.
Kirsten Lindsmith is an author, artist, consultant, and autism advocate from New York City. After receiving an ASD diagnosis at the age of 19, she began co-hosting the online television show Autism Talk TV and speaking at conferences and events about her experience as a young woman on the spectrum. Kirsten has written columns for Wrong Planet and Autism After 16, and was profiled in The New York Times. Kirsten graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in Vertebrate Ontogeny and Phylogeny. She currently works as a therapist in partnership with Melody of Autism, and as a consultant for behavioral and sensory needs.
In the conversation Kirsten speaks about what Autism is and what it is not. The misconception and stereotypes of Autism. The division between Aspergers and Autism, and the divisions between ‘Low functioning’ and ‘high functioning’ and its implications. Kirsten also addresses why Autistic women are often misdiagnosed, Autism and Empathy and mistaking the autistic individual as sociopathic, masking, cognitive looping and how it refers to Autistics special interests, how autistic traits affect social and romantic relationships, sensory processing disorder, and more.
Kirsten also address the overlap of ADHD, OCD, Bipolar and Autism.
