Embrace the journey of personal growth and resilience with this episode that aims to delve into the metaphor of the 'Tree of Wisdom'. By drawing on personal experiences as someone on the autistic spectrum, I share some  insights on how our struggles can shape us and inform the wisdom we gain throughout life's journey. This episode was inspired by a video I found informative I recently watched on YouTube. I didn't mention it during the episode. However, I'm providing the link to it here, if you wish to watch it.

Through this episode, the objective is to try and highlight how the roots of our experiences can help to establish a strong foundation, while the trunk represents the resilience built through challenges and triumphs.

Listen in as I explore the importance of expressing ourselves, whether through creative endeavours or personal storytelling, and understand how sharing our lived experiences can contribute to greater societal acceptance of autism. The branches of our Tree symbolise unique perspectives, offering fresh insights into problem-solving and communication. 

As I try to connect the metaphor to my experiences, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their wisdom and consider how they can contribute meaningfully to the discussions surrounding autism. The canopy of the tree embodies growth and understanding, reminding us that every journey offers valuable lessons worth sharing. Join me and nurture your personal 'Tree of Wisdom'.
