In this episode, I had the pleasure to interview Kirsten Lindsmith. First time I heard about Kirsten was after reading her wonderful article: The Dark Side of the Stim: Self-injury and Destructive Habits. If you havent´ read it yet, I recommend you do.
We´ve talked about Autism, stimming and sensory and emotional regulation.
Kirsten Lindsmith is an artist, writer, engineer, and autism advocate. After receiving an ASD diagnosis in 2010 at the age of 19, she began co-hosting the online television show Autism Talk TV and speaking at conferences and events about her experience as a woman on the spectrum. Kirsten has written columns for Wrong Planet and Autism After 16, and was profiled in The New York Times.
In addition to writing and public speaking, her work in the autism world has included classroom teaching, in-home therapy, curriculum development, career and life coaching, and the development of accommodations for various institutions (including for the 9/11 Memorial & Museum). She currently works as a full-time software engineer and part-time autism consultant.
Kirsten graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a combined degree in Biology, Microbiology, and Anthropology. Her interests include javascript, neurodiversity, human and animal biology and behavior, and petting soft cats. She lives in Massachusetts with her cat, Buffy, and her partner, Abel.
