Join Kim and Chelsea as they navigate the intricate terrain of autism, from the story of their diagnoses to how autism has profoundly influenced his writing. Not only do they both share their personal experiences with autism, but also delve into how they unravel the complexities of diagnosis, technological accessibility and their overall appreciation for those who have been medically diagnosed. They also shed light on how we can be more responsible and inclusive in the workplace and beyond as it relates to autism. Join Chelsea and Kim for an eye-opening peek behind the curtain of autism awareness and more!
