This week on The Sensory Matters Show Jenny is chatting to award-winning activist, Joley Colmer.
Joley is also an ambassador and author of the book My Fairy Jam Jar. She was diagnosed with autism age 2 but didn't find out she was autistic until she was 13. People regularly told Joely she can't be autistic and therefore went on to become an autism activist.
Thank you so much for doing this podcast Joely as it obviously became exhausting. But because autism is a special interest you were happy to give us your time. This shows exactly how exhausting masking can be!
