Unmasked: Deena’s Autism Diagnosis at 35

Unmasked: Deena’s Autism Diagnosis at 35

For 35 years, she was labeled sensitive, dramatic, weird, too much. But she wasn’t any of those things—she was autistic. And no one saw it.

In this raw and powerful episode, we pull back the curtain on how autism is profoundly underdiagnosed in women—and why. We explore how masking, misdiagnosis, and outdated diagnostic tools have led to generations of girls being missed, misunderstood, and misnamed. You’ll hear Deena’s story—what everyone got wrong, what finally clicked, and what it’s like to be diagnosed late in life.

This episode isn’t just for people who know they’re autistic. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like an alien in the world. For the girls who were called difficult. For the women who never felt like they fit. For the parents wondering about their child. For the friend who’s finally starting to see the patterns.

This one will shift how you see autism—and how you see yourself.
