  3. Episode 1. When we imagine an autistic person.

    12/02/2024

    Episode 1. When we imagine an autistic person.

    We’re taking a look at late diagnosis, the validity of self-diagnosis, and the intersection of autism, race, and gender. Many autistic people know that they’re autistic before receiving a formal diagnosis, a process that’s often frustrated by stereotypes, racial disparities, cost, and diagnostic gatekeepers. In this episode, you’ll hear from three people who found out they were autistic later in life: Imane, Leila, and Silke.
