Writing our neurodivergent memoir isn’t always easy but it has some very real benefits. For me, it has been a path to insight and self-acceptance. In this episode I talk about some of the reasons why people on the spectrum may not fully understand events as they unfold and how memoir writing can help us understand the past AND cut ourselves some slack.
Apologies for the audio on this episode! Other episodes are okay. I’m not sure what happened with this one.

Writing about Difficult Experiences in My Autism Memoir (Podcast + Post)
What is the difference between memoir and autobiography? What is the actual point of sharing our experience? What happens when that experience is difficult or dark?
My apologies for the audio quality. I don’t know what I did wrong but most episodes come out okay 🙁 I promise!
