Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) | High Functioning Autism | Aspergers | Alix Generous

In Todays video Dr. Becky speaks with Alix Generous who speaks about her diagnosis with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Alix discusses how she experienced abuse during her childhood and how she was also bullied at school.

Alix was 12 years old when she was diagnosed with Autism. Alix explains in detail her sensory overload struggles which could lead to a strong negative reaction, but explains she has become more tolerant to it as she has got older. Alix also discusses her previous experience with therapy and how she found this difficult as she began to feel vulnerable again. Alix also talks about meeting her husband and forming social and romantic relationships with a diagnosis of Autism.

Alix has become a voice online for mental health awareness and Autism. Alix held a TedX talk where she discussed openly about her Autism diagnosis and she credits her unique mind with her success in dealing with the complex issues.
