Sometimes we create and impose our own deadlines and expectations. This might bring loads of pressure and in this episode I look at the way I embarked on the Master of Wine programme, one of the most difficult exams in the world and look at lessons from neurodiversity and ASD.

We all have good and bad days either influenced externally or by the way we think about ourselves. It is how people with ASD have their mood influenced and how they present to others.

In this episode we cover the way people with neurodiversity communicate and particularly in the case of ASD.

We look at the impact of being unaware of neurodiversity and some of the perceptions associated with it. This is followed with me sharing some past failures in communication and how I am re-addressing that.

Finally, we look at the importance of self-awareness and their journey.

We face challenges and sometimes we put ourselves through them. In this episode we explore how neurodiversity and having autism spectrum diversity provides a different perspective. We introduce the PDPA approach for a more structured way to understand them and increase the chances of addressing them. #ASD #neurodiversity #asdisability

Following an invitation to a party, I explain and debate the reasons for attending or not and how someone with ASD looks at it. I wanted to share this experience to possibly demystify some mis-conceptions about people with ASD and other type of neurodiversity. Plus I also provide my point of view on the relevance of sharing memories whilst they are still fresh.

My experience in airports and flying, bringing perspective from a person with ASD to raise awareness and understanding.

In this episode I am looking at the reasons behind choosing ASD Is Ability as title of this podcast, the drive behind this initiative and how I have managed to launch these episodes so far.
