You Don’t Look Autistic: Interview With Author Bianca Toeps

“You don’t look autistic” is something many autistic adults have heard. But autism doesn’t have a look, and that comment can make someone feel that their experiences are being dismissed.

In this episode, I speak with Bianca Toeps, author of You Don’t Look Autistic. We discuss the assumptions people make about autism, what it can mean to be misunderstood, and why it matters to listen when autistic people describe their own lives.

If you’re an autistic adult, exploring a late autism diagnosis, or searching for information about Asperger’s syndrome in adults, this interview offers a personal perspective on autism and the stereotypes around it.
