In this episode, I sit down with Lucy, a brilliant autistic young adult with a deep love of history, for a conversation that flows effortlessly—because when neurodivergent minds connect, there’s no shortage of things to talk about. We dive into storytelling and its impact on learning, how we perceive communication, and the power of diversifying your skills. Along the way, we explore evolution and the undeniable presence of autistic people throughout history. This episode is packed with thoughtful insights, personal perspectives, and plenty of moments that remind us why these conversations matter.
