Episode description

Aaron is from Appleton, USA and is an Elvis Presley Tribute artist. He shares how his autism has helped him be successful at his job and what its like being on the spectrum. ⁣ We speak about the bullying he experienced growing up and how it’s shaped him into who he is today. We also touch on what it’s like dating on the spectrum. ⁣ People with autism have exceptional talents and excel in performing certain tasks. The better we understand autism, the more we can provide support and reduce the astonishing figure of 78% of autistic adults being unemployed… “while not all autistic people can work, we know most want to” (ONS, 2021).
