For our first-ever face-to-face Sunflower Conversations recording, Chantal was joined by Patrick Fopma, who is autistic and who describes himself as having Aspergers. In our conversation, we discussed his differences, including how he wanted to fit in when he was at school. We cover his journey through education and the barriers he faced to gaining employment. Patrick offers some great advice to young autistic people but also to employers.

This was a live recording, and as such, the sound isn't the best quality.

If you are experiencing any issues discussed in this podcast please contact your GP or healthcare practitioner.
