Send us a text
What happens when a dedicated school social worker and loving mother discovers her own autism diagnosis later in life?
Meet Kory Andreas, a therapist whose personal and professional journeys provide profound insights into neurodiversity and autism.
Kory's transition from the public education system to private practice was deeply influenced by her experiences with her daughter's early autism diagnosis and her own self-discovery.
Her story sheds light on the systemic challenges faced by educators and families, particularly regarding the identification and support of neurodivergent students.
Uncover the intricate layers of autism masking, especially among women and gender non-conforming individuals, as Kori opens up about her unique approach to assessments.
Moving beyond standardized tests, she employs in-depth interviews to grasp the complexities of each individual's experience.
Her late-life recognition of her own autism not only transformed her personal understanding but also enriched her ability to guide others through similar paths. Kory's narrative, intertwined with her daughter's atypical autism presentation, challenges conventional expectations and urges a more individualized perspective on neurodivergence.
From childhood to adulthood, navigating life with autism presents distinct challenges at each stage.
Kory shares her insights on managing emotional regulation in early years, tackling mental health challenges in adolescence, and confronting the hurdles of adulthood, such as workplace dynamics and personal relationships.
She passionately advocates for the validity of self-diagnosis, emphasizing how access to information empowers individuals to comprehend their experiences. Through her social media presence and public engagements, Kori continues to foster awareness and understanding, inviting listeners to contribute their stories and join the broader conversation on neurodiversity.
