EP37: 'Autistic All This Time!' — A Former Teacher Finds the Diagnosis Her Therapists Missed
Manage episode 435150971 series 3380692
Today, I'm speaking with Sarah, a musician, gardener, and former teacher based in Pennsylvania. Sarah spent much of her life in therapy and struggling with others' misunderstandings and insensitivities. Now, in her 60s and with a handful of mental health diagnoses behind her, she is finding that autism might explain so many of her experiences.
A series of back-to-back crises set the stage as Sarah wrestles with her newfound autistic identity.
