That sudden realisation — “Oh my gosh… I’m autistic” — is one that more and more adults are having. Whether it leads to a diagnosis or not, it can be a powerful and life-changing moment.
In this video, I reflect on what I’ve seen in my work as a therapist supporting people through this exact process. I’ll walk you through what this realisation often feels like, how it can shake up your sense of identity, and what you can do to approach this journey with self-compassion and curiosity.
This isn’t a diagnostic tool — it’s a reflection space. Whether you're at the beginning of this journey or somewhere in the middle, I hope this video helps you feel a little more grounded and a little less alone.
