Description
During this episode Matthew shares a little bit about his career in writing and the work he is doing in film and tv. In addition, he talks about the path he took to get an autism diagnosis in his 40's. He shares how his literal communication style has been both a strength and a challenge in his relationships and why his doctor once called him an "extrapolation engine". Matthew is divorced, has 3 children and shares a little about how he managed some of the aspects of family life and the experiences he has had with some of his other romantic relationships. Matthew also shares how he was diagnosed as hyperactive in elementary school and received many other diagnoses along the way, however autism had not even been a passing thought, until a friend (and her mother) suggested that he might be autistic. Mathewt began to read more about autism and then went to see several therapists who both told him that that they thought he was autistic. Matthew shares openly how his autism journey unfolded, as well as the advice he would give to others who may be on their own neurodiverse path.
