In this weeks episode, Rich talks about his experiences at school which he feels (albeit 30 years ago) may have caused his need to mask and how his 'behaviour' was identified at school. From work and behaviour reports to the teachers that supported him. This gives an indication of what undiagnosed autistic children went through in schools 20/30 years ago. If this episode has made you want to contact the show, you can get in touch with the podcast via the links at the bottom of the show notes.

**Listener Question**: How did you get on at school? Did school support or scold you? Are schools doing what they can? We would love to hear from you.

Coming soon to where you enjoy podcasts is a brand new podcast from the creator of Inside the Orange.

Rich thought Autism had entered his life when his son was diagnosed at 2, but following a journey of self discovery found out that he was autistic too. From being a fierce campaigner for Autistic People as an Advocate to having to navigate the change in thought as an Autistic person himself, Rich decided he wanted to talk about it and talk to amazing people who are both autistic and advocates of autistic people to help share positivity and understanding of autism.
