Raven Gray is a primitive skills practitioner and experimental archaeologist, with more than 25 years’ experience in wilderness living and survival training.  Raven was 55 when she discovered that she is autistic, and comes on the show to talk vulnerably and publicly for the first time about her life as an undiscovered autistic woman and her journey to her autistic awakening.  The ugly duckling that wasn’t a swan, but actually a Raven, shares the impact of not knowing or understanding who she was for over 5 decades and how it has felt carrying the weight and shame of a neuronormative narrative, and why the light is now permanently on post discovery.  CW - themes of self harm, addiction, trauma and abuse.  Follow on ⁠Instagram Head to Raven's website 3 ways you can support the podcast and the work we do...
