Autism spectrum disorder and our scientific understanding of human diversity and grandeur have only evolved in sophistication in recent years. As the truth of our neurodiversity comes to light we have greater and greater opportunities to understand, love and care for ourselves and one another. Over the summer Miss-O shared with us her journey and insights as an ace in burlesque, now she joins the show to share her experience of an ASD diagnosis and what she’s learned about life, love and sex- plus your calls! Catch the episode below and be sure to check back afterward for some footNOTES!
