I wrote a blog a while ago on the Mighty about my experiences of growing up in Japan as an undiagnosed autistic individual. It was when I completed my Master's in Counselling and presented my Master's research on the chemistry between autistic individuals and horses at a conference at Harvard University.


A lot has happened and changed since then but my desire to be a good autism advocate and researcher to bring a better understanding of autism and to better support other autistic people have not changed.
