S3 Episode 4 - Creating Your Own Space
Catherine speaks to Sofia Akbar about her late autistic discovery.
Sofia is a late diagnosed AuDHD single mum and secondary maths teacher.
Her self discovery journey started from the trials of her oldest son's autism diagnosis, impacted by the trauma of (TW) domestic abuse and racial discrimination. She was recognised for her Support for Inclusive Learning by Scottish Asian Minority Ethnic Educators in 2022 and also won Small Business Award from Scottish Asian and Business Awards 2023 for her private tuition business called Limitless Learners.
Sofia has also been nominated as a finalist for British Muslim Awards Community Spirit for her role in setting up and leading Scottish Ethnic Minority Autistics CIC.

Meet Uma
Uma is the world’s first strengths-based self-identification service that helps adult women, non‑binary and AFAB people safely self-screen for autism, ADHD, and CPTSD. She also screens for commonly co-occurring health difficulties related to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Hypermobility EDS (hEDS), to build a complete brain-body picture.
UMA are looking for people who are medically diagnosed or self-identify as ADHD or autistic, as well as those waiting on a diagnosis, to try the service.
