Marcus Mitchell's Autism Journey - Banishing Stereotypes
Show Notes

This week we welcomed meme and internet legend Marcus Mitchell onto the Lets Talk Autism Podcast. 
Marcus was diagnosed autistic aged 14, he shares his diagnosis story with us and what life was like as a child and young adult after diagnosis. 
We talk about his social media presence and how he uses his comedy and memes to make others laugh as well as raising autism awareness. Marcus speaks openly about the trolling he has experienced on his social media accounts and the comments made implying that he "doesn't look autistic" and how "autistic people cant have humour."

A wonderful chat with a wonderful guest. Our cheek bones were aching from smiling!
