Tom always suspected he was autistic, but had never been formally diagnosed. Now he knows the answer.

In this five-part special series of The Briefing, we team up with Autism Awareness Australia and Sydney University's Brain and Mind Centre to walk alongside Thomas as he discovers what the autism spectrum is, and if, and where, he might fit. 

In Part Three, we join Tom as he learns if he is on the autism spectrum, what he makes of the result, and what it means for his future. We're also hear from Professor Adam Guastella from the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre as he tells Tom what he learned from Tom’s assessment.

Listen to Part One here and Part Two here.

You can find the Brain and Mind Centre here, and Autism Awareness Australia's resources in recognising autism here.
