‘My days are never the same’

1800 Seconds on Autism

Available for over a year

Peter Street started his working life as a gravedigger before becoming a gardener, running a restaurant and teaching in prisons. The author grew up with epilepsy and a learning disability. But it was therapy for PTSD stemming from his time as a war poet in Croatia, which lead to an autism diagnosis aged 64. Humorous stories about losing five inches in height in a forestry accident, reading fairy tales to young offenders and his two week stay at a brothel keep Robyn and Jamie entertained during this wide-ranging chat. With Robyn Steward, her support bat Henry, Jamie Knight and Lion. Produced by Emma Tracey. Subscribe to the podcast on 鶹 Sounds or say "Ask the 鶹 for 1800 Seconds on Autism" to your smart speaker.
