Voices of the late diagnosed

Patrick
11 months ago

Hi everyone. I’m a podcast listener as find them informative and in some ways, soothing. I’m looking for recommendations of where I can hear the experiences of the late diagnosed.  I was diagnosed this year aged 50. I have noticed that when listening to people discussing their experiences in the media, when they begin talking about being late diagnosed they frame it in the context of being in their late twenties.  I would be interested in hearing older peoples life experiences. Thanks in advance. Blush

    Patrick,

    Have you read Pete Wharmby's books? He was diagnosed aged 34.

    'Untypical' ....'how the world isn't built for autistic people and what we should do about it.'

    And  his second book, "What I want to talk about" is all about his special interests..... mostly Lego.
