SLP 081: How Embracing Autistic Strengths Changed His Life: An Interview with Chris Bonnello

Discussed in this episode

Today I will be interviewing Chris Bonnello! Chris is an autistic former primary school teacher and author of the popular website Autistic Not Weird. 

When Chris was ten an educational pscyhologist came to assess him. It was 1995 so the professional psychologist wrote down "slightly odd personality" on his form and that's where it ended.

Growing up on the spectrum can be difficult. Chris discusses this in the podcast and also how to uses his autistic strengths to change his life.
