Adulting with Autism

Unveiling the Journey: Chris Mitchell's Autism Story and Advocacy


Listen Later

Hey guys, hey. Grab your favorite drink and settle in, because you definitely don't want to miss this! I've invited the incredible Chris Mitchell to join us today. Chris discovered later in life that he's autistic, and he’s here to share his unique journey with us. From navigating his own autism diagnosis to being a devoted caregiver for his wife who's battling cancer, Chris's story is both touching and empowering. Trust me, you'll be blown away by his strength and resilience.

Learn what "autistic burnout" is all about, and how Chris supports the adult autistic community through his engaging YouTube channel, The Confident Autistic. He’s got some real nuggets of wisdom on advocating for oneself and overcoming life’s hurdles, whether it’s dealing with the healthcare system or finding your tribe as an adult with autism.

Let's get real, it's not just about autism, it's about finding joy and fulfilling your passion, no matter what life throws your way. Don’t forget to check out Chris's YouTube channel, join our Facebook group, and please, if you love what you hear, give us a like or drop a review. Stay amazing, and keep adulting!
