111 - Autistic Women: Regret and Self Discovery After 40 with Laura van Dijk

One thing many of us share in late identified autistic life especially if we are over 40 is regret for what we didn’t know about ourselves.  The process of self discovery as a late AuDHDer is often a whole new experience for most of us. Join my dear friend and guest today, Laura van Dijk aka Autistic.Lautie on IG as we share our over 40 diagnosis journeys and things that we never really knew about ourselves before. Don’t miss the Shine A Light Autistic Advocate 2nd Annual Campaign info in this episode as well.  You are invited to join us.
