☎️ Do Autistic People Hate Phonecalls? 🛑

I really hate phone calls. It's as though the caller is saying, "What I have to say is more important than whatever you are currently doing.". In this video, I share my strategies for managing interruptions, anxiety, and efficiency with both work, business, and personal calls. No clickbait - this video contains my strategies after 40 years and 20 years as a self-employed freelancer.
