GETTING BETTER | What It’s Like to Get an Autism Diagnosis as an Adult (with Elyse Myers)

00:55:42

Elyse Myers, (writer/creator) stopped by to talk to JVN all about her new book That’s A Great Question, I’d Love To Tell You, living with ADHD, and navigating parenthood after being diagnosed with Autism as an adult. From masking and people-pleasing to boundaries and self-acceptance, Elyse shares the before/after of getting language following her diagnosis. Plus! We also dig into how she writes and why the Midwest is low-key the best.  

Elyse Myers is a writer and comedian who achieved mainstream recognition as a digital content creator. Deemed “The Internet’s Best Friend,” Myers continues to serve her audience of more than 10M+ with relatable stories, twisted Q&A’s over coffee, and acts as an advocate for countless topics such as ADHD, imposter syndrome, body image and more by allowing herself to be seen, unfiltered in a genuine and hilarious way.
