What do autistic young adults really need to build healthy, meaningful, self-directed lives?
In this powerful conversation, Lynn Davison sits down with Dr. Tempest McDonald, autistic researcher, counselor, and parent, to challenge some of the assumptions we make about autism, independence, and adulthood.
They explore why traditional transition plans can miss important pieces, the difference between self-sufficiency and self-determination, and what can change when we focus on collaboration, supportive environments, health, and helping autistic young adults build lives that actually work for them.
This is a thoughtful conversation about autistic adulthood, self-determination, health, relationships, collaboration, and what meaningful support can look like across a lifetime.
If you’re a parent of an autistic young adult, an autistic adult yourself, or someone supporting neurodivergent people, I hope this conversation gives you new questions to ask and a more hopeful way to think about adulthood.
