Summary
This week, Rich shares 10 “weird” things he always thought were just part of his personality… that actually turned out to be autism.
From struggling with eye contact to leaving parties early, needing space, and even things like rubbing his feet together — we break down the small, everyday behaviours that didn’t seem like anything at the time, but make a lot more sense now.
It’s a funny, honest, and really accessible conversation about what autism can actually look like in real life. Whether you’re diagnosed, questioning, or just trying to understand someone you love — this one might help you see things a little differently.
