In this episode, Edward interviews a very special guest, Slingshot Warrior Outdoors (SSW), who shares his personal experience with autism and how it has shaped his life. SSW opens up about the challenges he faces, such as misunderstandings and difficulty with social cues, but also highlights the unique perspective and strengths that come with being on the autism spectrum.
The conversation delves into SSW's journey of discovering his autism later in life, after being misdiagnosed with ADHD as a child. Both Edward and SSW reflect on the mistreatment they faced in their younger years and how it has impacted their lives.
They discuss the idea of being normal and embracing one's uniqueness, with SSW emphasizing that being autistic just makes him who he is, not better or worse than others. He shares his weakest points, such as face-to-face communication challenges and difficulties with math and numbers.
Throughout the interview, SSW credits his father as his inspiration and guide, teaching him values and instilling faith. They also touch on the topic of accomplishments by people on the spectrum, like Elon Musk.
