The Late Discovered Club is a social impact community and podcast, on a mission to give a voice to Late Discovered autistic women and people.

The podcast brings you real and empowering stories of late discovered autistic women and people from all walks of life - through an intersectional lens - helping to deconstruct stereotypes, and giving the next generation visibility.

Hosted by autistic Psychotherapist & Author Catherine Asta and edited by her daughter, Caty Ava. In Season 4 - which began in January 2025 Catherine is joined in some of the episodes by author Pete Wharmby as a guest co-host. In May 2025, part way through season 4 we had to take the difficult decision to press pause on producing more episodes of the podcast due to Catherines health, however, the much needed post discovery community work continues behind the scenes.

The podcast has an ever growing global community currently in over 130 countries, approaching a quarter of a million downloads (putting us in the Top 5% of podcasts worldwide* according to The Podcast Host) and was ranked the number one podcast for 'Female Autism' in the world by FeedSpot in 2025.
