Beyond Deconstructing Episode 1.15 - Christele (Plomcake)
Manage episode 365301667 series 3477883
Welcome to Episode 1.15 of Beyond Deconstructing. I’m T Jamaica Pogue, affectionately known as Deconstructing Neuro, and I’m on a journey to help reframe how we understand and treat neurodivergence - in particular autism.
In this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with the effervescent Christele aka Plomcake. We discuss the transformative nature of becoming your truest self that often accompanies the process of unmasking after being diagnosed as autistic later in life. Her perspective is informed by being a Black woman, the eldest daughter in an immigrant family, and a highly masking person.
You can find Christele on Instagram and TikTok @plomcake.

* Deconstructing Neurodivergence is a series that aims to dismantle the harmful stereotypes and assumptions about neurodivergent people - in particular autistic and ADHDers - and the many negative effects that hinder us from receiving a proper diagnosis and adequate accommodations to live a life where we can thrive instead of fighting to survive. *
