During this episode, you will hear from AuDHD Therapist, Lindsay Averbook. Lindsay shares about her journey to get herAutism diagnosis and describes the challenges she had with medical providers who weren’t listening to her.
She chose to get a neuropsychological evaluation and was diagnosed as Autistic. She also had received an ADHD diagnsosis while in college.
Lindsay also shares how she went through an identity crisis after the Autism diagnosis and how she didn’t know what to do after the diagnosis. She also began questioning whether she could still be a therapist.
We also talk about the need for more education about adult neurodivergence for mental health and medical providers and the stigma associated with diagnosis.
We discuss the fear of disclosure with friends, family, your romantic partner or colleagues and how everything in life can make more sense after a diagnosis and how validating it can be as you begin to understand so many things from your past.
Lastly, we talk about how media is portraying adult neurodivergence differently and how many newly diagnosed individuals may go through a grieving process as they begin to unmask and discover their most authentic self.
