I am so excited to share this episode with Amy. Amy is an inspirational, kind, and thoughtful young woman and I am so happy she wanted to share some of her story on the podcast.

In this conversation, Amy shared her experiences of living with autism and we discuss the misconception around autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Amy shares her life-changing experiences of grief and loss, we explore mental health and mental illness, bullying, coping mechanisms and tips for stress management, sleeping patterns, body image, the impact of creativity and writing on Amy's mental health and so much more.

Amy also shared a wonderful analogy about autism and the way she thinks her brain works and the differences we have in relation to what our strengths and weakness are. This is around the second half of our conversation, and it includes open and closed doors, I won't spoil it anymore but it is wonderful!!

Amy is really keen to share her experiences to support and help anyone else who has gone through similar struggles.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did.
