"Autistic minds and a PhD go together like bread and butter. As far as doing the research, thinking about the concepts, and all of that, many of us have strengths that are perfectly aligned. But it’s the environments of the PhD that can be challenging to navigate", says Tempest McDonald. Tempest joins this episode to discuss new five part podcast that chronicles her life story up to this point.
