Let’s Talk About Autism is the official podcast from the charity Autism Guernsey. This podcast bridges the gap between clinical expertise and lived experience. We explore autism through conversations that blend research with reality, alongside practical advice for inclusive employers and short "education bites" on current topics. Join us as we share the voices, stories, and expertise that help us all better understand autism.
In this episode of the podcast, Martine speaks with Sue Fleming from Autism Guernsey about the intersection between autism and mental health. Their conversation explores some reasons why autistic people are more likely to struggle with mental health conditions, as well as some strategies for autistic children, teens, and adults to promote positive mental health.
