What if I'm autistic? | What now?

Tom has discovered in his late twenties he’s on the autism spectrum. While Tom had always suspected he was autistic, he’s now had his suspicions confirmed - a story echoed by individuals and families across the country.

So how do people on the spectrum navigate the workplace – and what about relationships, both romantic and platonic?

In this five-part special series of The Briefing, we team up with Autism Awareness Australia and Sydney University's Brain and Mind Centre to walk alongside Thomas as he discovers what the autism spectrum is, and if, and where, he might fit.

In Part Four, we’re joined by Professor Adam Guastella from the centre and Nicole Rogerson, founding CEO and director of Autism Awareness Australia to discuss work, friendship and love on the spectrum.

Listen to Part One here, Part Two here, and Part Three here.

You can find the Brain and Mind Centre here, and Autism Awareness Australia's resources in recognising autism here.
