In this episode, Ben sits down with Professor Francesca Happé -
one of the most distinguished and respected voices in autism
research. With over 30 years at the forefront of the field,
Francesca has reshaped how we understand autism, from exploring
social cognition to uncovering the hidden experiences of autistic
women, the elderly, and under-researched groups.

In this chat with Ben, they unpack hidden autistic talents like
perfect pitch and detailed memory, why late diagnosis fuels
burnout, how emotional care differs from cognitive mind‑reading,
and why research on sensory processing and inclusion is needed
more than ever.

This is part two of a two-part episode. To catch all
the groundbreaking discoveries, be sure to check out last week's
episode!
