Join autism consultant Paul Isaacs and Anna Kennedy for an enlightening conversation that reveals the complex reality of living with autism. Paul, diagnosed at 24, shares his powerful journey from childhood struggles with clinical depression and bullying to becoming a successful author, speaker, and autism advocate who now volunteers 18 hours a week for Anna Kennedy’s charity. Discover why autism should be viewed as a ‘fruit salad’ of different traits rather than a single condition, and learn about the crucial differences in how autism presents in each individual. Anna also highlights three compelling autism books, including Mickey Mayhew’s inspiring story of overcoming school exclusion to earn five degrees, and announces the upcoming Autism Hero Awards closing nominations in September.
