On this week's episode of Shifting The Narrative On Everything Autism, Torrin and Stacy were joined by autistic advocate and podcaster, Toni Borneo. Toni was diagnosed late, (at 40, hence the name of her podcast Autistic at 40). She went through a lot: childhood trauma, heavy masking, autistic burnout, and more. Like many undiagnosed autistic people, she was forced to rely on her academic gifts and keen eye in order to power through a total lack of supports. Now, she podcasts about her experiences, and is currently writing a memoir on the same topic. This was a great episode, which left me speechless at times.
