About this episode

Jess Hinds shares her experience with late autism diagnosis and the journey of self-discovery.

Jess Hinds became a mother while quietly struggling with overwhelm she couldn’t explain. That was until an autism diagnosis reframed her entire life. This episode explores late autism diagnosis in adulthood, neurodivergence in mothers, and the grief that can come with finally understanding yourself. It’s a story about identity discovery, self-compassion, and the moment language finally catches up with lived experience. www.somethingshifted.co.za Recorded at Latitude Podcast Studio Listen to Something Shifted: The Soundtrack on Spotify
