Discover what’s possible when dialogue opens the door.
Unfortunately, cultural stigma around autism still exists. Whether you know from personal experience, or through someone who has been impacted by it, you’ll want to listen to this episode with Meghan Ashley. Meghan is a licensed professional counselor who has her own private practice, MPerfect Consulting, where she provides support to women, people of color, autistic individuals, and clients with intersectional identities. 
This episode is part one of our conversation, and we discuss:

The validity of self-diagnosis when you don’t have access to a formal diagnosis
How Meghan uses what she describes as “neurodivergent life equations” to make her everyday life easier
Parenting autistic children
How to break the stigma around autism within the Black community
Teaching her Black autistic sons about police interactions
How to avoid misinformation when searching for autism resources online
