S1E03:Autism/ADHD:Identity & late diagnosis
From Not Quite Typical: AuDHD & Neurodivergent Conversations · 00:19:28
Show by Amber Nap
A late autism and ADHD diagnosis doesn’t just give you answers — it asks you a whole new set of questions. Who were you before the label? Which parts of you are actually you, and which parts were you performing? In this episode, Amber digs into the identity shift that comes with late diagnosis.She talks through the grief for the version of yourself that struggled without knowing why, the relief of finally having language for your experience, and the strange, ongoing work of figuring out who you are on the other side of it. If you’re somewhere in the middle of that process, you’re not alone in it.Find Not Quite TypicalInstagram: @notquite_typicalSubstack: ambernapthine.substack.comListen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts — search Not Quite TypicalGet in Touch: [email protected] friends, just a gentle reminder: I’m sharing from my own lived experience with AuDHD, not a medical textbook!
