Catherine speaks to Anita Patel about her late autistic discovery.
Anita received a late diagnosis of Autism and ADHD in 2023, after recovering from breast cancer and also burnout, through many years of masking.
Anita’s life has totally changed since her late discovery and she is keen to raise awareness about the role intersectionality can also play, when seeking answers and accessing support.
Being a South Asian woman and having a family who do not ‘fit the mould’, she knows first-hand about the further cultural challenges that exist for neurodivergent individuals.
This is turn can feel isolating - and stops them from sharing their experiences - she is hoping to try and change this. One of her favourite quotes is:
“Fair isn’t everyone getting the same thing. Fair is everyone getting what they need in order to be successful.”
