This week's episode is with Rachel Nesmith, a singer-songwriter, mother, and advocate. Rachel has Autism Spectrum Disorder and Type 1 Narcolepsy, so today, we begin by discussing the setbacks she has faced and overcome living with ASD and then transition to her Narcolepsy.
Rachel and I start by talking about the misconceptions behind ASD, how she experiences and manages sensory overload, and how she advocates on her behalf in social settings. We also discuss her diagnosis journey with Type 1 Narcolepsy, how she adjusted her life and education after receiving her diagnosis, and how she works relentlessly to advocate for others with Narcolepsy. Rachel also talks about how her diagnosis of Type 1 Narcolepsy led to her redefining her goals and altering her ambitions to continue leaving a significant impact on society. Additionally, she shares some valuable advice at the end of the episode to anyone who has just received a new diagnosis.
