04/16/21 • 45 min

This week we talk to self-confessed 'film nerd', broadcaster and blogger Carrie Morrison about their experience of living with Autism.
As well as podcasting and blogging, Carrie has a lively interest in film, drama and theatre.
In this episode, they talk about their diagnosis and their various beefs with misrepresentation of their condition, including the latest one with none other than mysterious 'hidey-in-the-backgroundy' popstar Sia.

And breaking down stereotypes, they also seems to be quite timid when it comes to Maths... at least that's what I think they said! ;)
