LGBTQ+ individuals often struggle to find their community and a place of support, encountering societal stigma and discrimination that can make it challenging to connect with others who share their experiences and understand their unique needs. LGBTQ+ individuals who also have autism often navigate a complex intersection of identities, facing distinct challenges and experiences that require support and understanding.
In this episode, Max Korten joins us to discuss his experiences as a gay man with autism, queer dating with a developmental disability, and how we can all work together to make the LGBTQ+ community a more inclusive space.
