In this episode, I interview two wonderful people, Grace, and Dash, about their experiences in what it is like to be autistic trans women.  They both discuss a little bit about what it was like to discover that they were autistic, and share first hand what the transitioning process has been like, some challenges with it, and share their wonderful journey to self love and self acceptance. :)

Dash talks about how realizing she is autistic is helping her experiences as a preschool teacher.  Having a first hand understanding of the autistic kids that she works with means that she can be the advocate that so many of us autistic people needed as children.
She shares her struggles with under stimulation and talks about various career related challenges.

She dealt with quite a bit of bullying when she was a kid from teachers and students alike; motivating her to become an advocate for the next neurodivergent generations.

Both Grace & Dash are trans women, and they share a snapshot of exactly what being trans feels like.

They share their ideas about how the world could be improved, and all of us hope to contribute to a better general understanding of the myriad of issues that so many trans people experience.

Grace mentions how HUGELY positive her transition has been for her to unmask and learn to recognize who she truly is - being freed from the box of social norms.  

Dash shares her perspective on her anxieties around hormone levels, doctors who don't really understand what it feels like, along with a general gap in trans-related medical knowledge.

Both Grace & Dash are wonderful people, and we are honored to have them share their stories and ideas!
