In this episode, we chat with Hunter Hansen, who was diagnosed Autistic at the age of 16, is a husband and father, works at a large tech company, and is also an Autism advocate, posing videos to Instagram at the account @The_Life_Autistic, which is how we first discovered each other last year!
We enjoy a fun and insightful conversation, sharing our experiences as "Public Autistics" in the social media space, and talking about work life, writing about Autistic experiences, connecting with other Autistic people, challenges, supports, masking, job interviews, disclosure in the workplace, accommodations, marriage, small talk, friendships, the different mannerisms and social customs in Canada and the USA and how Hunter is living THE LIFE AUTISTIC.
