Autistic Identity As Becoming: The Fluidity Of Autism

This episode explores Autistic identity not as a fixed label, but as something living, responsive, and shaped over time.Rather than treating “realising you’re Autistic” as the end of a journey, this conversation sits with what happens next; how identity shifts as our environments change, as safety grows or disappears, as burnout, recovery, community, ageing, and connection reshape how we relate to ourselves.Drawing on lived experience, this episode challenges the idea that change means inauthenticity. Autistic identity isn’t something we possess once and for all; it’s something we live, negotiate, and revisit as we move through the world.This is an episode about becoming rather than arriving.About coherence rather than consistency.About giving ourselves permission to grow without feeling like we’ve lost who we are.More Content- https://davidgrayhammond.comNeuroHub Community- https://neurohub-community.sintra.site/ This is a public episode.
