Does Autism Make You A Bad Friend? | In Defense of Paris Geller | Difficult Conversations Podcast

Today I want to explore the fine line between "that's just the way I am" and "I genuinely can't do this any differently". Where does "I struggle with social awareness" begin and "I don't care about others" begin? For this exploration we will study the characters of Paris Geller and Louis Litt, with some personal interjections as the resident loud mouth autistic girl that everyone on the internet loves to hate.
