RUDE AWAKENING: How Rich’s adult autism diagnosis changed everything

RUDE AWAKENING: How Rich’s adult autism diagnosis changed everything

This week on LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox finally talk about the moment everything shifted. Rich has been diagnosed autistic as an adult.

For the first time, they break down what the diagnosis unlocked. All the years Rich was called rude, blunt, quiet or detached. All the childhood rituals and intense interests that made perfect sense in hindsight. All the internal emotions he felt but never showed on his face. All the moments Rox misread him, thinking he was miserable, uninterested or distant. And the strange relief of finally having language for traits that were there the whole time, hiding in plain sight.

From masking to overwhelm to years of being misunderstood, this is an honest, funny and emotional look at what adult autism really feels like when you finally get the answers you’ve been missing.
