Autism and Me - Living with Aspergers Syndrome and ADHD - Ep. 09

Autism and Me - Starting a new life on a boat to save my mental health from Aspergers.

Whatever you call it, ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Aspergers, Aspergers Syndrome, it's the cause of my anxiety, depression, and meltdowns. It's the reason I had to give up my dream career in radio, and it's driven me to self-harm and thoughts of suicide.

Some viewers have asked why we moved off our first boat back in 2004. In this video, I try to explain everything, although the title has given it away already! I guess it's my 'autism coming out' story explaining how ASD - Aspergers Syndrome affects me, and Shaun. I recorded it during a walk in one of my favourite places.
