In this conversation, author, screenwriter and teacher Claire McGowan shares what it’s been like to receive an autism diagnosis at 43 — and how that discovery is reshaping her understanding of her life, identity, and creative work.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Claire’s late autism diagnosis and the path that led to it
- The mix of grief, anger, relief, and curiosity that followed
- Growing up in Northern Ireland in the 80s and why autism wasn’t on the radar
- Sensory overwhelm — from public transport to event spaces
- Hyperfocus, productivity, and writing 28 books in 14 years
- What Claire hopes will change in how society supports autistic adults
Claire also shares about the importance of talking about neurodiversity.
