Revealing Untold Stories: The Lives of Undiagnosed Autistic Adults

There are entire generations of people who grew up when the popular conception of autism was a far cry from how it’s now understood. It meant a whole host of people who grew up feeling like they didn’t fit in, but never quite knowing why. They were autistic, but undiagnosed. And when a diagnosis did come as an adult – it was often revelatory and life-changing.
Ever wondered what it feels like to navigate life feeling out of place, without knowing why? In this eye-opening episode of 'All In The Mind', listeners are introduced to the 'hidden histories' of autistic adults who spent years without a diagnosis. These individuals grew up in a time when autism was poorly understood, leaving them to grapple with their differences in silence.
The episode features personal stories that are both heart-wrenching and inspiring, as well as expert insights from researchers Gabby Hall and Dr. Wen Lawson. They discuss the profound impact that a late diagnosis can have and the ongoing challenges these individuals face. This episode is not just about autism; it's about resilience, understanding, and the importance of timely recognition and support. Tune in to hear these incredible journeys and gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse experiences of autistic adults.
