Suddenly Autistic at 46 - What did my mum make of that?

In this video, I chat with my mum about her thoughts and feelings following my autism diagnosis. I didn't film us chatting as I felt that would be too distracting so this is audio and a reflective slide show. I've also added some photos of my mum and myself to bring the content to life.
Topics we discussed included:
* Social skills
* Sensory processing and sensory issues.
* Eczema and itchy skin
* Vestibular functions and sensory-seeking behaviour
* Special interests including maps, nature, the human body and puzzles
* Sleep issues
* Attachment bonding.
* Love language
* Sibling interaction
* Emotional intelligence and more.
* Food issues
* Digestive health
* Parentification (of self)

Thank you for this presentation and I enjoyed the way it was done. The visual enhancements worked very well.

Thank you. I figured people could pause and read the notes if they wished.

Yes! I was very invested in building. I also loved digging. So much fun
