Contact: Liz@lizbucher.com The podcast "Femme on the Spectrum" hosted by Elizabeth delves into the genetic and hereditary nature of autism, particularly from a female perspective. Elizabeth discusses how many women are diagnosed with autism later in life, often spurred by their kid's diagnosis, and reflects on her own parents' behavior that may suggest they were also on the autism spectrum. The episode also tackles the significant overlap of autism with ADHD and OCD as well as misplaced diagnoses such as narcissistic personality disorder. The conversation aims to shine a light on the unique familial and individual experiences within the autism community. Using compelling personal stories and evidence-based studies, Elizabeth seeks to build awareness and understanding around neurodiversity.
