  • Summary

  • Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people communicate and interact with the world. Though more than 1 in 100 people are on the autism spectrum in the UK, it is often taboo to talk about. This is one of the reasons some people with autism feel it is hard to be themselves and mask their autistic traits to appear more neurotypical to society. Professor Kurinchi Gurusamy is the Head of Research in the Division of Surgery and Interventional Science at University College London. He also lives with autism. In this month’s episode, Shakira and Iman talk to Kurinichi about his personal experiences of living with autism and common misconceptions.
