For anyone who wants to learn more about autism, Amy Richards shares her captivating journey from undiagnosed autistic high school teacher to becoming self employed and publishing 53 podcast episodes for our wonderful Autistic Community.

From being the good, quiet girl at school Amy ended up using alcohol as a coping strategy through university. A teaching career led to repeated burnouts, until Amy forged a new successful career working for herself in the world of coaching, web design and marketing. 

Be inspired and educated as you hear how this dedicated advocate learned how to survive and thrive in a world that doesn’t quite fit.
