"Small Talk I have found is never small"

I met Angela on LinkedIn on a comment thread where the OP posted about having the "camera on" feature as a requirement for work actually does a disservice for people on the spectrum. I appreciated Angela's comments that camera off help with workplace accommodations and had to invite her to be on the pod.

Angela shares her experience of being a black woman on the spectrum and how it has affected her work and home life pre and post diagnosis. Intersectionality and Autism are significant social markers when it comes to self advocacy in professional spaces. Discrimination is experienced at higher rates among people of color who are also on the spectrum . What do we do when we don't meet other people's social expectations when on the spectrum? Listen and find out.
