About this episode
The episode discusses the varied emotional responses individuals may have to receiving a diagnosis, particularly in the context of neurodiversity.
Some people get the diagnosis and feel the relief of a lifetime. Others feel grief so heavy they have no words for it yet. And some feel a strange stillness where a feeling should be. Let's talk about it.#LateIdentifiedAutistic #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent #AutisticRelationships #PatternsOfPossibility Get coaching: www.patternsofpossibility.com Social Connections Summit September 23&24 Get early access, a look behind the scenes and more! www.socialconnectionssummit.com
