Hey there! Happy Saturday! I hope you're having a fantastic weekend. 🌟

Ever feel like you're in a whirlwind of chaos? I'm deep in autism burnout, juggling the hurricane of work, life, and the ever-present challenges of navigating the world as an autistic adult, especially as a Black woman. Yup, it's been one of those weeks where everything just seems off.

I'm super excited to introduce Megan Townsend, a fellow late-diagnosed autistic adult and licensed social worker. We dive into a raw, real conversation about the unique challenges Black women face in getting diagnosed with autism, the misconceptions, and the frustratingly slow progress towards better understanding. This chat is about breaking stereotypes, the struggles with being a parent to autistic kids, and how to cope when support systems fail to meet our needs.

Grab your favorite drink, whether it's an adult beverage or a cozy hot cocoa, and join us as we share insights, laughs, and maybe even a few tears. Let's toast to facing challenges head-on and understanding our beautifully complex worlds a little better! 🥂
