Unlocking Autism: Behind the Diagnosis episodes
- Becoming a Mother, Finding Herself
What happens when becoming a mother leads you to discover something life-changing about yourself?
For Alyssa Deroches, motherhood became the unexpected key to understanding a lifetime of experiences that had never quite made sense. After discovering she was AuDHD—autistic and ADHD—later in life, Alyssa began seeing herself, her past, and her future through an entirely new lens.
In this episode of Unlocking Autism: Behind the Diagnosis, Alyssa shares how her diagnosis transformed not only the way she understood herself, but also the life and career she chose to build.

About Unlocking Autism: Behind the Diagnosis
From the publisher's feed
Unlocking Autism: Behind the Diagnosis goes beyond the diagnostic criteria to explore the real stories, experiences, and people behind an autism diagnosis.
Hosted…
by Dr. Karen Sheridan, a clinical psychologist, doctorate-level behavior analyst, and owner of Access Autism Testing & Consultation (AATC). She has more than 20 years of experience working with autistic individuals, the podcast brings together personal stories, professional insight, and honest conversations about what autism can look like across the lifespan.
Each episode explores the journey toward understanding autism—from the first clues that something felt different, through the search for answers and the diagnostic process, to the ways a diagnosis can reshape identity, relationships, parenting, work, and everyday life.
You’ll hear from autistic adults and parents of children with autism whose experiences challenge stereotypes and show just how diverse the autism spectrum really is.
Because autism is more than a diagnosis. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a story, and a journey toward understanding.
