Alex The Astronaut - (Musician with Autism) | #67

"I think there's a disconnect with humanity in the stories of sexuality or disability"  Why did Alex The Astronaut make music their full-time job if strobe lights and loud music can be autistic triggers? After turning to cognitive therapy, sleep psychologists and a misdiagnosis of anxiety, Alex describes the moment when a diagnosis they received later in life provided all the answers they had been seeking their entire lives. We also ask why do radio hosts and interviewers hesitate to bring up sexuality yet are comfortable bringing up disabilities? Angus, a former radio announcer, acknowledges that he would have erred in the same way.
