Autism & The Double Empathy Problem - Victoria Urquhart Part 2

Victoria Urquhart (she/her) is an actor, playwrite, grant writer, and advocate who lives with Long Covid and has been seeking answers (and treatments) for years.

Victoria has written a stageplay called "I Can Fly", about the experience of growing up as an undiagnosed "AuDHD" person.

[please note the intro and outro of the full episode have been copied to each part]

In this second portion of the interview, Victoria talks about her experience with Autism and ADHD and the struggles that neurodivergent people tend to face, and how to be more empathetic and accommodating.

She is just one more case of a chronically ill person having to do their own research and advocacy. Want to make your digital documents and files more accessible?
