Great talk, with very few slides – I especially liked the end where Chris’s mum in the audience got a big hug!
I also have Aspergers’s syndrome. I think the ‘label’ has been useful for me, because I understand my strengths and weaknesses better – and have strategies for the latter, such as anxiety.
