Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Discussing Privilege, Class, and Autism with Rachel Morgan-Trimmer
Q: How does class and privilege affect access to diagnosis and opportunities for autistic individuals?
Economic resources, access to healthcare, and social signals like accent can affect diagnosis timing and job opportunities; working-class individuals often face higher hurdles in obtaining supports, which underscores the need for broader, universal access to services.
Discussing Privilege, Class, and Autism with Rachel Morgan-Trimmer
Q: What practical steps can workplaces take to be more inclusive for autistic employees?
Beyond generic inclusion, focus on meaningful engagement like job carving to fit strengths, providing career progression that doesn't force people into traditional management tracks, and creating supportive processes that allow autistic people to thrive.
Discussing Privilege, Class, and Autism with Rachel Morgan-Trimmer
Q: Could you describe your history with autism and how you arrived at your current work?
I always knew I was autistic in hindsight, but the diagnosis came much later, around my mid-forties, after a difficult path through the system and dealing with disbelief from others; I also navigate ADHD which complicates the presentation.
Approach Autism Like a Detective with Dr. Theresa Regan
Q: In your work at the Diagnosis Center, what kind of things do you look for in adults to determine if an autistic diagnosis fits them or not?
She explains questions about development, social communication across ages, sensory experiences, and how to distinguish autism from other conditions, emphasizing individualized patterns and real-life examples to guide diagnosis and recommendations.
Approach Autism Like a Detective with Dr. Theresa Regan
Q: To get us started, could you describe your history with autism?
Dr. Regan discusses her background in neuropsychology, how she began recognizing autism in adults, and the personal experience of her son being diagnosed, which shaped her professional focus.
