S3 E5 - Autism diagnosis: how it landed.

In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I share what it actually felt like to be told — as an adult — that I’m autistic as well as having ADHD. I talk through the assessment process in plain terms, what surprised me most when I was answering the questions, and why the emotional “landing” of the diagnosis wasn’t dramatic — it was quieter than that. In this episode: What does an adult autism assessment actually involve — and how is it similar to an ADHD diagnosis? What was it like having Helen fill in the “someone close to you” questionnaire? What happens when you catch yourself giving the “socially acceptable” answers — and then have to decide what’s actually true? What did the consultation feel like in the moment — and why was it so exhausting? What did I feel immediately afterwards — and what started clicking into place in the days that followed?
