THE GIRLS WE MISSED; Late-Diagnosed Autism, Chronic Illness & Healing with Lee Alberts

In this episode I'm joined by Lee Alberts, a late-diagnosed AuDHDer, disability justice advocate, and future mental health counselor, for one of my favorite conversations we've had on the podcast.

We dive into what late diagnosis can uncover, why so many neurodivergent girls were missed growing up, the overlap between autism, ADHD, trauma, and chronic illness, and how learning to understand your brain can completely transform the way you understand yourself.
