The episode promises to be an emotional journey filled with insights, humor, and honesty. The Vet Gezellig shop is open again! http://vetgezellig.shop We start with an update on our webshop and share how you have responded to the new items. Additionally, we discuss Ghislaine's impressive journey with diagnoses and carefully answer your questions, hoping to inspire and inform others about living with autism. From Ghislaine's first steps in the workplace to her experiences in the supermarket, hospitality industry, and an advertising agency, we take you through her diverse work experiences. We compare these experiences and share advice on finding passion in work, despite the challenges. The episode continues with an honest discussion on finding work-life balance, especially with autism in play. We also explore how autism affects social interactions, including first impressions, social anxiety, and predicting human behavior. Finally, we dive deeper into how autism works in our relationships, the importance of empathy, adjustments we’ve made, the role of communication, and a candid discussion about mental health issues. Of course, we’ll close with the ‘Snack of the Week’ and a look at what the future holds.
