Abstract

Early in my career I found many professionals were surprised, sceptical, and even apprehensive about me working in clinical psychology. My autism presents unique strengths and weaknesses in the practice of clinical psychology. This different balance of abilities is evaluated in respect to the role of a clinical psychologist, with reflections from supervisors on the effect autism has on my work.
