Can You Self-Diagnose Autism? Can You Retire Early? The Truth About Both – AFI: The Autism and Financial Independence Podcast- Episode 7


Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. I somehow missed out posting this episode of AFI here when it first went live, but better late than never; here it is. There is a lot of criticism of autistic people who self-diagnose, but quite often those criticisms don’t stand up to scrutiny. Have a watch, and please let me know what you think.

Also, if you like this blog and website, I would be so grateful if you could give the AFI podcast a follow. You can find us on the major podcast platforms, and you can watch us on YouTube. Giving us a rating or review helps us enormously, as it helps other people discover us.


That’s all for this time. Take care.
