Hello! Welcome to the Autism Wellbeing Project's new podcast, the Autism Wellbeing Podcast, which has been created by the community members who use the services that they provide to autistic adults in and around Cheshire and across the UK!

May the Fourth Be With You listeners! Joining Stephen on the sofa today is biochemical engineer and Star Wars enthusiast, Dr Shari Söderström. Brought up in a male-dominated South Asian society in southern India, Shari left the place where she spent her formative years masking and feeling like she had to be someone she wasn't, moving to the UK to pursue her Masters. In her thirties, she realised why so many of her experiences in her life made sense after receiving both an Autism & ADHD diagnosis.

Shari talks about her being on the podcast helps underrepresented voices like hers to be heard and hopes listeners hearing her story helps others accept who they are. 

Get in touch, we'd love to hear your thoughts

We're excited to let our listeners know that the amazing social enterprise that funded our podcast, The Autism Wellbeing Project, is going to be at the National Neurodiversity Show in Wigan on the 11th June!

Come on down and meet the team, who can't wait to talk to you about the services they provide, the free activities they have available including our podcast and want to meet as many of you as possible. 

The show beings together a wide range of organisations, speakers and exhibitors all there to celebrate neurodiversity, share knowledge and to bring inspiration - sounds like a brilliant day to us!
