Send us a text
How does a late autism diagnosis reshape one's life? Discover the profound journey of Reid Miles, an autistic author and podcaster, as he opens up about his late diagnosis in his 20s and its transformative impact.
Reid shares his experiences with the social security system, the clinical trial that validated his autism, and the hurdles he encountered with communication and social interactions.
We also delve into Reid's struggles with employment and the stigmas he faced, particularly the stark contrast in responses before and after disclosing his autism.
Join us as we navigate Reid's challenging high school years filled with struggles in note-taking, social acceptance, and bullying.
Transitioning to college, Reid found a sense of belonging and acceptance, culminating in earning both an online degree and a master's in advanced computer science.
Despite these achievements, Reid faced significant challenges in finding relevant job opportunities.
Now in his 50s, Reid discusses his current pursuits, including podcasting and writing about his life, and offers valuable advice on stepping outside of comfort zones, especially for those within the autistic community.
Explore the intricate balancing act Reid manages between ADHD and autism, sharing his personal strategies and experiences that resonate deeply.
Learn how his podcasting journey has become a tool for improving social skills and making meaningful connections.
Emphasizing the importance of a solid support system, Reid recounts personal anecdotes, including a rare meltdown experience at the airport, and the crucial role his family played in his life.
The episode concludes with a powerful discussion on the need for unity within the autistic community, the disparities in support systems across countries, and a call to action for better treatment of disabled individuals, urging society to move beyond labels for a more inclusive future.
