Hope!

You are going to be a facilitator for autism training in the NHS. Hooray! This is desperately needed. Particularly the Eating Disorder services, but also late diagnosed females who have been misdiagnosed and overmedicated for years. Mammoth task, but every connection made is progress. Good luck and look after yourself in the process. Keep getting the message out which empowers others to speak up too. Thank you!

Just like me!

I really relate, Laura. I work in SEN support and only recently when seeking an assessment for my daughter, a trusted friend said ‘you’re autistic you know’. At 52 now hoping for a chance to live authentically outside work as well as at work!

This speaks to me

So true, shame has held me back. Sense of brokenness and inadequacy and low self-esteem has caused me to leave/ lose senior job roles. Now work for myself and need to work on myself - that is on who I am and that I am deserving to ask for what I need, and to be happy. Thank you.

Life affirming.

I think life changing and affirming are accurate descriptions of this podcast. The lack of female voices when I first discovered I was autistic was very isolating and led to continued self doubt. Hearing so many female voices with very similar experiences and challenges has changed all that. I’m really grateful to Catherine for creating this amazing community and shining a light on my own late discovered story.

An interesting listen…not just for ND people!

I found this podcast recently- I find it a really good format and Catherine’s interview style is gentle yet probing. The variety of guests from different places, professional backgrounds etc has given me something to think about after every episode.

A brilliant podcast.

As someone who has grown up always feeling different, even after being diagnosed as an adult (after years of misdiagnosis) I’ve still felt like the odd one out, in my own little ‘odd bubble’, this series has made me realise that not the only one and I’ve never related so much to both Catherine and her guests. Highly recommend

I’m so happy to have discovered this podcast! As a late diagnosed autistic woman listening to this podcast has proved invaluable on my journey to self understanding. Recommending to family and friends!

As a late discovered autistic person myself, I found this so touching. Relatable, comforting and inspiring! Every story matters and every action can make a difference. Thanks Catherine xx

Representation matters!

I love listening to this podcast. Catharine has a very soothing voice, easy to listen to. So far I have loved the guests and especially also want to say thanks for also having woman of colour on! I am late discovered (37) and a woman of colour. Representation matters so much. Glad to see different women on the spectrum

Such a powerful and life affirming podcast that helps late discovered women feel seen.

Each episode is powerful and resonates in some way. Each episode helps me feel more comfortable and at peace in my own skin. Thank you for these wonderful conversations that help women feel seen, heard and valued.

A great source of validation and comfort

As a late diagnosed autistic woman with ADHD (at age 47) I’m so grateful to hear other ladies who so succinctly describe this feeling of being different from others within, and being on a forever quest to find out why that is. I love the radical and bold idea of openly and unapologetically accommodating for oneself while learning self-compassion. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve just shared the first ep with my mum who’s 72 and she’s suddenly realising she’s also autistic.

A masterclass is vulnerability

If the first two episodes are anything to go by the rest of this podcast series is going to be incredible listening. I related to so much of what was shared in the first episode, way more than anticipated actually and whilst it seems too easy and trite to say I felt seen it’s the only suitable response. Bravo Catherine for your bravery and desire to help make life better for so many of us who are understood.
