The more I learn about autism, the more empowered I feel about living a more authentic life and letting people know about my struggles as well as the unique and different and beautiful way that my brain functions.  

In this week's episode I go through the emotions I felt when I was officially diagnosed, as well as the ways I cope with and feel about sharing or not sharing my diagnosis on a regular basis.    

I also share a fascinating viewpoint and excerpt from Temple Grandin's book "The Autistic Brain" about how autism can allow a person to be more creative by seeing the world so differently.
