Season 3, episode 5 is here: What Is Autistic Impostor Syndrome?
Feeling like a fraud or a fake autistic is so common in those who are diagnosed as autistic in adulthood. In this episode, I talk about impostor syndrome and how it relates to autistic impostor syndrome. I also talk about the impact of impostor syndrome and some strategies on how to cope with it.
