I learned that I am autistic in my mid 40's!
I crashed and burned!
Now 12 years later after many therapeutic interventions and teachers I have learned that I am my essence not my diagnosis!
I work with teens with additional needs and the inner child / teen in individuals of all ages!
I bring my training as a therapist, careers adviser , somatic educator and interfaith minister to my interventions . And am learning to be an Intentional creativity coach"
May we all find our hidden gems from our challenges!

Hi @Sioux17 welcome to the community! Our ASD advisor @VioletFenn also had a late diagnosis and she talked to us about it in her guest post.
We have an ASD category and an Ask an ASD advisor section so jump in and get involved
