When a friend asked me recently how autism affects me on a daily basis I knew it wasn't a simple or quick answer. 

I needed time to think about it and pay attention to daily life for a while to really wrap my head around all the many ways I'm affected by autism every day and be able to thoroughly answer that question.  

This episode is part 1 of that answer, which was much too long to post in a single episode. 

Even to list the ways autism affects me in a simple bullet point list wouldn't do them justice. 

They take explanation just to understand what I mean by them.  

If you can relate to this episode or list of ways that autism can affect someone, please share your thoughts. 

I'd love to hear your perspective! 

Thank you so much for tuning in.
