Adulting on the Spectrum: Nonverbal autistic advocacy
In this episode, hosts Andrew and Eileen, speaks with Peri who is a 24 year old advocate with autism. After many years of her family wanting answers, she was finally diagnosed at 11, which was pretty late despite the obvious signs. She didn't say her first word until the age of six, and didn't say much else after that until she was 10. She wants to raise awareness about being nonverbal in such a strong verbal world.
