FREE EVENT THIS WEEK: https://autismexplained.krtra.com/t/R...
(An online conference with 20+ actually autistic speakers!)

Do people say that you’re not autistic or 'You can't be autistic? We've seen some wild (or oddly specific) and hilarious responses from our Autism from the Inside community! But hey, who's to say you’re not autistic?

Can you not be autistic because you're intelligent? Or if you're a girl? And, of course, if you've got a job, you can’t be autistic, right? Maybe you're not Sheldon of the Big Bang Theory or Rain Man, but who is, really? Don't tell me you can't be autistic because you don’t have savant skills – is this really a prerequisite to an autism diagnosis?

And then there's the 'Autism doesn't exist' argument. Unfortunately, some people are still saying that.

But here's the point – this video may seem all fun and games but we will tackle these myths about autism head-on. It's like myth-busting, but with a side of humor.

👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.

Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.

Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.

Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
