Before I knew I was autistic, I just thought I was bad at communication. Too long-winded. Too intense. Too much. In this episode, I share two workplace stories that shook my confidence, and how years later, I finally understood what was actually happening beneath the surface. This is a story about masking, misunderstanding, and the invisible rules of professional tone. It’s also about reclaiming my voice, and the tools that helped me do it.
