Becoming a Mother, Finding Herself

from Unlocking Autism: Behind the Diagnosis Hosted by Karen Sheridan

What happens when becoming a mother leads you to discover something life-changing about yourself? For Alyssa Deroches, motherhood became the unexpected key to understanding a lifetime of experiences that had never quite made sense. After discovering she was AuDHD—autistic and ADHD—later in life, Alyssa began seeing herself, her past, and her future through an entirely new lens. In this episode of Unlocking Autism: Behind the Diagnosis, Alyssa shares how her diagnosis transformed not only the way she understood herself, but also the life and career she chose to build.
