Sol Smith spent nearly two decades as a college professor, always feeling and doing things out of step with everyone else, before realizing that he was autistic. He works with individuals, as well as offering educational seminars about neurodiversity. He is the author of The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery.
 
Here he and Dawson talk about:
