EP 150 - Caroline Smith, Learning to Thrive With Autism
Living with Autism certainly has its challenges, but that doesn’t stop many with the diagnosis from going out in the world and seeking out a fulfilling life. Like most neurodivergent conditions, there are many things you can do to grow and get better at thriving in an every changing world.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
- Why Caroline both refers to herself as and named her business “The Introverted Misfit”
- Where the source of most of Caroline’s anxiety comes from and how she found out
- Why Autism is harder to spot early on and how that leads to further troubles
- How being bullied by kids about her voice made Caroline hesitant to speak up in teen meetings as an adult
- Why breaking things up in smaller more manageable bites is almost always helpful
- Why Caroline feels that affirmations are important but eventually you need to face your fears
- What Caroline likes most about working with teens and how she feels she helps
“I was terrified of speaking above a whisper.”
- Caroline Smith

Bio:Caroline Smith founded her business, The Introverted Misfit, to help shy, socially awkward, introverts become socially confident versions of themselves in a way that feels natural for them. After about a decade of being frustrated, depressed, and unsatisfied with how much her lack of social skills and social anxiety was stunting her personal and eventually her professional growth, she had had enough of constantly avoiding social outings just to prevent potential social interactions. Her story is a little more unique because of her experience with being autistic, which was the source of many social and communication deficits. Because she was able to overcome her social and communication skills deficits despite being on the autism spectrum, she uses her platform and her 1-on-1 coaching services to help fellow introverted misfits who struggle with socializing and finding community – whether they are autistic or not – learn how to connect with others, create fruitful relationships, and have a manageable social life – without acting extroverted!
