Art and autism math: healing and connecting after a late autism diagnosis","description":"Elinor Trier describes herself as a \u201cSparkly Champion of Neurodivergent and Queer Joy\u201d. She\u2019s a neuroqueer AuDHD artist, writer, podcaster, YouTuber, and founder of Elinor Trier Studio, where she creates artwork that reminds us that we\u2019re not the 'odd one out', we\u2019re 'one of a kind\u2019. Elinor says, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I became a certified weirdo by getting an official autism diagnosis in my mid-thirties that my life started to actually make sense.\u201d In this conversation we talk about the power of art to heal and connect us, the relationship between her art and her autism journey, and how she has changed her working life since becoming conscious of her autism. Squarepeg is a podcast in which I talk to other late identified autistic women and nonbinary people about their lives, their autism journeys, and what they\u2019ve learned along the way. I\u2019m Amy Richards, and I was diagnosed autistic in 2016, when I was 37. I\u2019ve been sharing my conversations with other autistic adults since 2020. I hope you'll find these conversations inspiring and thought provoking, and that they\u2019ll help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences.   EPISODE LINKS: You can find out more about Elinor here: https:\/\/elinortrierstudio.com\/  YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ZuzusHausofCats  Substack: https:\/\/zuzushausofcats.substack.com\/    If you'd like to connect with me, get in touch or follow Squarepeg, you can find me on: Website: https:\/\/squarepeg.community\/  Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/squarepegpodcast  Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/squarepeg.community\/ Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/squarepegautism\/  THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS!
