    In episode 74, Alex and Karly welcome Elena Carroll to the pod! "I was diagnosed with autism at age 25 after a lifetime of questioning my brain, my place in the world, and if I was ever going to be able to make it to 30. I was in therapy from the age of 6, and was only ever told it was anxiety from professionals. At 25 I was back in therapy, this time treating depression, and it was during these sessions that I learnt of my neurodivergence. Now having discovered how my brain works, I began sharing my struggles and experiences online on Instagram and Youtube. I'm also in the very near stages of finishing my first book about the late diagnosed autistic experience. Overall just trying to help heal the little girl inside who questioned her place in the world, and hoping my words and content can help ease other people's inner child's :)" In this episode, Elena talks about her autism diagnosis journey, her queer journey, and how those journeys have lead her to connecting with community.
