The Journey of an Autistic Woman
Join Stephanie as she speaks with a fellow podcaster, Madonna Kilpatrick, from Off the Spectrum podcast here on MHNR Network. Madonna is from Seattle, WA and her I.Q. is off the charts. She is an author, a blogger, a podcaster, a docent for the Museum of Arts in Seattle, and an artist. She is also autistic. Listen in as Madonna allows us to hear her journey through school and life, both personally and professionally. She shares her experiences feeling vulnerable and insecure while possessing unique abilities that can be attributed to her diagnoses. Listen to this peek into her very rich and incredible life of a woman on the spectrum.
Madonna Kilpatrick is a comedian, anthropologist, and explorer. She is also autistic and lives with a non-verbal learning disorder, which can affect speech processing and motor skill coordination. These are not disabilities, however, but rather lenses through which Madonna observes the world, offering angles and viewpoints otherwise unseen by neurotypical audiences.
