Should I Get Diagnosed? | Pros, Risks & Realities of Adult Neurodivergent Diagnosis


Listen Later

What does “getting diagnosed” really mean—beyond the label?
In this episode of Odd Ducklings, Daria and Katie untangle all the tension, hope, fear, and possibility that come with pursuing or living with a neurodivergent diagnosis in adulthood.

We talk about:

  • The pressure to simplify complex neuro stories for the algorithm

  • How labels can hurt or heal

  • Disclosure, boundaries, and navigating judgement at work

  • Tools like the “Workplace Adjustment Passport” and real talk about asking for what you need

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “Do I even deserve the label—or is it just another performance?” — this one’s for you.
