075 Fighting Autistic Stereotypes & Stigma with Thomas Henley

Thomas Henley makes amazing autistic content that educates, normalizes, and actively pushes back against stereotypes and stigma. This includes his podcast, Thoughty Auti - The Autism Podcast, on which I was recently a guest talking about AuDHD [https://youtu.be/3OJ6-iYgRdU].  Thomas has made multiple decisions in his life to combat stereotypes, including months of backpacking, and becoming a world-class martial artist, both of which he talks about today.  We also touch on what some of the lingering stereotypes are! I highly recommend the autistic-affirming spaces Thomas has created around his content, which you can find at: Thoughty Auti - The Autism Podcast [https://thomashenley.co.uk/media/thoughty-auti-the-autism-podcast/] @thomashenleyUK on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thomashenleyuk/] & TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@thomashenleyuk] Website: thomashenley.co.uk [https://thomashenley.co.uk/]
