Customer Reviews
So helpful to hear a late diagnosed woman’s experience
Thank you! Feeling alone with my diagnosis and you are saying things that I really relate to as a late diagnosed woman. I feel heard.
Could be describing my own life!
Amazing, so helpful. Seeking diagnosis currently.
Hard Relate
Thank you so much for doing this Toni. I found out im autistic at 37 and now at 43 am finding out i am probably adhd aswell. Im finding it quite difficult to organise thinking about it all. I found myself giggling for joy at your podcast as I could relate so much. It has been very helpful. I highly recommend.
