Summary

We’re sharing a special preview of a new podcast, The Loudest Girl in the

World. For years, journalist and podcast host Lauren Ober wasn’t all that jazzed about herself.

She was always getting in trouble, she had a lot of sensory issues and her anxiety felt off the

charts. And then, she found out why — she was autistic. The Loudest Girl in the World tells the

story of Lauren’s journey to understand what it means to be on the autism spectrum and how to

live life as a newly diagnosed autistic person. You can hear the full episode, and more from The

Loudest Girl in the World, at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/loudest?sid=challenged.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
