Summary
This week, Kat is joined by fellow podcaster and producer, Lauren Ober. Lauren describes herself as someone who had a hard time fitting into the mold that most people her age naturally did. During the pandemic, as the distractions that previously allowed her to ignore the challenges she faced faded away, she decided to seek a clear understanding of why she felt different than her peers. In her early 40s, Lauren was diagnosed with autism. She soon found herself working on a new project, The Loudest Girl in the World, a podcast detailing what life is like for her as a newly diagnosed autistic person. In this episode, Lauren talks about common myths the world tends to believe about autism in general and ways in which she has personally been misunderstood by others. One of Kat’s favorite take always from this episode is the reminder that, if you know one person with autism then you know one person with autism. As you listen you might learn a little about autism but you definitively will learn a lot about Lauren Ober.
