Episode 65: Special Guest, Author and Journalist Lydia Wilkins

In this episode I was joined by special guest Lydia Wilkins. This is the third time I've had Lydia on my podcast (she was the special guest on Episode 21 and Episode 40). Lydia is a freelance NCTJ qualified journalist, with bylines in The Independent, Readers Digest, The Metro, Refinery 29, Debut Careers, BN1 Magazine, and more. Lydia was diagnosed as being on the Autistic Spectrum in January 2015, two months shy of her sixteenth birthday. Lydia is back on the podcast today* to chat about the new book she has written called 'The Autism Friendly Cookbook' with Jessica Kingsley Publishers which is out November 21st 2022! I am super excited to chat to Lydia about the book (particularly because Lydia chose me to be the book's illustrator!!!). *Content / Trigger Warning: We talk about Eating Disorders and sensory issues to do with food. Podcast marked as explicit due to two swear words.
