What if you had a unique way of seeing the world, but didn't know why you were different until you were 44?

That's what happened to our extraordinary guest today, Andee Joyce. Diagnosed with autism later in life, Andee shares her compelling journey of self-discovery and acceptance with us.
Struggling to maintain relationships and jobs became a part of life for her, as she grappled with her unique mind.
Instead of letting these challenges hold her back, Andee found strength in her difference and began to find her place in the world.

Music and spoken word became a solace for Andee, a way for her to express her experiences and navigate through her unique mind.

She reveals how her one-woman show, 'Rhythm and Autism', was born and the stories that inspired her touching song, 'Tracy's Tambourine'.
Not just that, we also get an exclusive sneak peek into her upcoming sensory-friendly performance at the Walters Center next April.
Andee's art is a testament to her resilience, showing the world that autism is not a condition to be fixed, but a different way of experiencing life.

Venturing into Andee's past, we explore how her sensory sensitivity during her childhood paved her way to the creative arts.

From being a hyperlexic student in an era where neurodivergence was a misunderstood concept, to her choice of attending an alternative school, Andee's early life experiences have shaped her into the inspiring individual she is today.
As we wrap up this emotionally charged episode, one thing is clear - Andee's story isn't just about understanding autism, it's about recognizing the beauty and strength in everyone's unique journey.
So, tune in and let Andee's compelling story inspire you to embrace your own differences and turn them into your strengths.
