A Conversation with Carolyn Kiel on Her award-winning 'Beyond 6 Seconds' Podcast

"My overall goal in my research is to provide scientific evidence to make society believe the experiences of neurodivergent people and to make them treat our lived experiences more seriously." - Kana Grace

It was my pleasure to have been a guest on Beyond 6 Seconds podcast by Carolyn Kiel! Her advocacy work is admirable. She helps to amplify the voices of neurodivergent individuals like me, who struggle to publicly express their own thoughts. Please support her work!

In this episode, we explored my discovery of neurodivergence at university, life before diagnosis, and my decision to focus my PhD on loneliness in autistic adults. We also covered the importance of involving autistic researchers in autism research, my experiences in academia, perceptions of autism in Japan, and the goals of my research.
