Autistic at 40

I was diagnosed autistic this July and I am 41. I have started this pod cast series from the beginning and it is like having a loving guide come alongside me and affirm what I am learning about myself and show me new information that is helping me discover more in depth who I am and what I need. Thank you so much for sharing so candidly ❤️

Just listened to S2E14 on PDA and it touched me so much! I resonated with the idea of PDA but didn’t connect the dots until I listened to your story and it really hit home. Particularly when you talked about the need to be perfect. I’m so grateful for my husband who is more than patient but I haven’t found the courage to say “hey! I think there’s a reason I’m the way that I am” I don’t know if I ever will but hearing you share and knowing how well you’re doing gives me hope. Thank you so much for your courage and I’m looking forward to binging more of your wisdom!

I’ve loved this podcast since I discovered it, and have learned so much about how to approach my late-discovered Autistic journey. Even so, the mother wound episode blew me away. I’m so grateful that this podcast is a regular part of my life.

Toni shares a really detailed self discovery process with her listeners through this show that is strikingly genuine and beautiful. People seeking to better understand the experience of autistic people won’t find a better resource. The best part is that the show weaves concepts of humanity that all people can relate with, no matter their neurotype.
