Episode 12 - Macon Gwyn - Autism Acceptance & the Mind of Macon

****Please note. VOLUMES ARE LOWER IN THE BEGINNING FOR OUR PODCAST GUEST AS WE WORKED TOWARDS COMFORT LEVELS USING THE MIC. Volume does improve, so please hang tight! At times, Macon is quiet while he considers his response and at times you hear him mumbling as he externally processes his thoughts prior to replying.**

Adriane interviews her nephew, Macon. Macon is autistic and is almost 16 years old. This podcast was recorded with his parents' permission. Macon helps us understand the way his mind works and while Adriane and Macon converse, he literally blows his aunt away with his knowledge.  They discuss food aversions, neurotypical vs. neurodivergent, stimming, special interests and so much more!  Macon even explains why rules need to make sense and when they don't, what the outcome is. We are excited to share his story during April - Autism Acceptance Month! Please keep in mind, just because you know one autistic person doesn't mean you understand them all. Autism varies just like personalities. Thanks for taking the time to listen!
