Katherine May

O tym odcinku

<p>In August 2015 author Katherine May set out to walk the 630-mile south west coast path. Setting her feet down on the rugged and difficult path by the sea answers long standing questions. What followed was the journey of self discovery documented in her book The Electricity of Every Living Thing which has just been adapted into an immersive Audible Original drama.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This week, we invited Katherine to talk about the physical and psychological journey that she undertook in the Electricity of Every Living Thing. Katherine kindly and patiently tells us her story of discovery, the repercussions of growing up unaware that she was autistic, the ways she coped and struggled and masked over the years, the profound relief of being able to put a name and a community around her experiences, and how nature has become her best friend, in all its sensory glory.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Katherine’s story gives a life affirming message of what it means to be different and how we handle change within ourselves.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Electricity of Every Living Thing is now available as an Audible Original immersive audio drama.
