Autism Knows No Borders

Late Diagnosis, with the Global Autism Community


Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when you embrace your true identity. 

Are you a late-diagnosed autistic person, or do you know someone who is? If this resonates with you, you’ll want to listen to today’s conversation, where we touch on how acceptance of one’s autism can change over time. 

The following Global Autism Community roundtable was facilitated by community moderator Hattie-Angelys Fox, and it features Autistic Self-Advocates Brian MIddleton, Corben Havener, Mary Johnston, Bob Schmus, Amira Collantes, and Adrian Sanchez, as well as community moderator Danielle Terrell.

Among other things, we discuss:

  • Finding out about an autism diagnosis at different stages in life
  • How autism presents differently in males and females
  • Whether language matters when identifying as autistic
  • Common challenges that autistics experience in childhood  –like socialization, anxiety, and depression– and how to deal with them
  • Whether masking is ever good
  • Disclosing your autism with friends and family
  • The Pathology Paradigm

    Are you a self-advocate willing to share your story and educate others? Or a professional seeking to hear directly from autistic voices and improve your practice? Or maybe you’re a family member hoping to support and empower your loved one? 

    Whatever your connection to autism is, we’d love to hear your takeaways from this episode in our online Global Autism Community, where hundreds of people from all over the world come together to support each other and know that they’re not alone.
