This episode Dan interviews his friend and old workmate Shirl. It is an incredibly moving, candid and funny discussion that so many people will be able to associate with.  Shirl was diagnosed Autistic four years ago, around the same time as Dan, and shows another side to the diagnosis fallout. This was not an easy discussion for Shirl however the bigger priority was to share just how difficult it has been for us later diagnosed people, particularly in childhood and young adulthood.    We cannot thank Shirl enough for agreeing to talk. Shirl will not be listening to the episode so we would love listeners to send messages via us on [email protected] Please come join us on our socials where we are very much present.   We very much want you to share your stories and opinions.
