Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Not Seeing Yourself: Late-Identification, Masking & Neuroaffirmative Practice with Katie Kerley
Q: Katie, maybe we might just start at the start. Could you tell us about the pathway to your identification?
Katie describes a long, convoluted journey typical of late-identified neurodivergence, including early quirks, masking, and a gradual recognition that her experiences and traits aligned with autism after working with autistic adults and hearing feedback from clients. She details formal identification with an adult autism practice and the emotional relief and grief that followed, along with the realization that training had previously missed her own autistic identity.
Rewriting the Rules of Motherhood with Laura Guckian
Q: What does unmasking mean to you in the context of motherhood and neurodivergence?
Unmasking means dropping the expectation to fit neurotypical standards, listening to one's nervous system, and building a life—and parenting style—that works for your brain, even if that means organizing a home with a 'DJ deck' of needs and routines.
Rewriting the Rules of Motherhood with Laura Guckian
Q: Could you tell us a little bit about what led to your identification as autistic and ADHD, and when you discovered it?
Laura describes a long, difficult journey through maternal challenges, a psychiatric hospital stay, and attempts to understand her children's development, which eventually revealed her own autism and ADHD through assessments and family patterns. This realization reframed her life and work as a coach and advocate.
Translating the World Through Sound with Abigail Ward — Creativity, Masking, and the Autistic voice
Q: What are the main questions or our main question that you still have about your identity?
Abigail expresses her continued interest in the relationship between being a highly sensitive person and autism, alongside figuring out a career path that accommodates her neurodivergent needs.
