  • How George Realised They Were Autistic While Studying Autism

    How George Realised They Were Autistic While Studying Autism
    Jan 16 2026
    In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes George Watts, a neurodivergent researcher, parent, and PhD candidate whose path into autism research began before realising they were autistic themselves.George first studied autism from the outside, absorbing dominant behavioural frameworks and evidence-based models that promised to “help” Autistic people. It wasn’t until they encountered Autistic voices, community, and their own reflection in the literature that their understanding — and their life — fundamentally shifted.Together, Angela and George explore late identification, burnout, childbirth, internalised deficit models, the harm of behaviourism, and what becomes possible when Autistic people stop being studied in isolation and start building community together. This episode centres Autistic quality of life — not as an abstract metric, but as a lived, relational experience grounded in belonging, autonomy, and joy.🪑 AttendeesChair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocateGuest: George Watts — Autistic researcher, PhD candidate, and parentYou: The Listener!🗒️ Meeting AgendaOpening remarks from the ChairMember introduction: Childhood signs without diagnosisDiscussion: Burnout, childbirth, late identification, unlearning behaviourism and deficit-based modelsAutistic parenting and education research shaped by lived experienceKey learningsClub announcements🧾 Minutes from the Meeting1️⃣ Opening RemarksAngela introduces George as a researcher whose academic path into autism began long before they understood their own neurodivergence. Early training framed autism as a problem to be fixed — with behavioural intervention positioned as the solution. This episode traces what happens when that framework begins to crack.2️⃣ Member Introduction: George’s StoryGeorge returned to university as a mature student, studying autism after years of precarious work, burnout, and unrecognised neurodivergence. As they immersed themselves in autism literature, moments of resonance accumulated — until self-recognition became unavoidable.Childbirth, sensory overload, and years of misattributed mental health struggles came into focus through a new lens. What had once been framed as personal failure or psychological fragility was re-understood as the cost of navigating a world not built for Autistic nervous systems.3️⃣ Discussion HighlightsLate identification: Studying autism before recognising it in yourselfBurnout and childbirth: Sensory overwhelm and unmet support needsCommunity as intervention: Autistic people supporting each otherQuality of life: Shifting research focus from causes and cures to belongingAutistic parenting: Reducing unnecessary demands and honouring regulationResearch from the inside: Autistic-led questions shaping the field4️⃣ Key LearningsUnderstanding autism can reframe decades of self-blameBehavioural compliance is not the same as well-beingQuality of life looks different for Autistic people — and should be defined by themCommunity and belonging are not extras; they are foundationalAutistic-led research changes what we ask — and what matters📌 Notice BoardGeorge Watts — YouTube talkAutism Studies (FutureLearn course)Research paper: A Certain MagicGrove Neurodivergent Mentoring and EducatingAutistic Quality of Life Measure (ASQoL)📣 Club Announcements🎧 The Late Diagnosis Club is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.💬 Join our online meetups and community at latediagnosis.club.📌 Check the LDC Notice Board for Member Contributions💜 There is a small charge — but no one is turned away for lack of funds.🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast🎙️ Executive Producers: Amy Burns, Anamaria B Call, Andrew Banner, Anna Goodson, Ashley Apelzin, Audrea Volker, Ben Coulson, Brian Churcek, Cappy Hamper, Carley Biblin, Charlene Deva, Chloe Cross, Clay Duhigg, Clayton Oliver, Danny Dunn, Daria Brown, David Garrido, Emily Burgess, Eric Crane, Erik Stenerud, Fiona Baker, Grace Norman, Helen Shaddock, Jaimie Collins, Jason Killian, Jen Unruh, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Tretter, Kathie Watson-Gray, Kenneth Knowles, Kira Cotter, Kristine Lang, Kyle Raney, Llew P Williams, Laura Alvarado, Laura De Vito, Laura Provonsha, Lily George, Nelly Darmi, Nigel Rogers, Rachel Miller, Tim Scott, Tyler Kunz, Victoria Steed, Yanina Wood.🎧 Producers: AJ Knight, Bobby Simon, Da Kovac, Eleanor Collins, Emily Griffiths, Hannah Hughes, Jennifer Kemp, Jonas Fløde, Kate F, Katie N Benitez, Kendra Murphy, Lisa Dennys, Logan Wall, Louise Lomas, Melissa Nance, Nicola Owen, Rebecka Johansson, Sam Morris, Sarah Hannah Morris.

  • How Julie Understood Herself After Raising an Autistic Child

    How Julie Understood Herself After Raising an Autistic Child
    Jan 9 2026
    In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Julie M. Green, a writer, Autistic mother, and late-identified Autistic woman whose self-recognition unfolded through parenting. Julie’s story begins not with her own diagnosis, but with her son’s. As she learned how to support an Autistic child, she slowly began to recognise familiar patterns in herself — sensory sensitivity, rigidity, perfectionism, chronic illness, and lifelong shyness that had always been framed as personality flaws rather than neurodivergence.Together, Angela and Julie explore maternal guilt, masking across decades, self- and formal diagnosis, and what changes — and what doesn’t — when you finally have language for your nervous system.🪑 AttendeesChair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocateGuest: Julie M. Green — Autistic writer, Author, and motherYou: The Listener!🗒️ Meeting AgendaOpening remarks from the ChairMember introduction: Childhood signs without diagnosisDiscussion: Parenting an autistic child while recognising autism in yourselfMasking, perfectionism, and decades of mislabelingSelf-diagnosis, formal diagnosis, and imposter syndromeKey learningsClub announcements🧾 Minutes from the Meeting1️⃣ Opening RemarksAngela introduces Julie as a member whose story begins in a paediatrician’s office — not for herself, but for her son. What started as advocacy and research quickly became a mirror, reflecting traits Julie had carried since childhood but never had language for.2️⃣ Member Introduction: Julie’s StoryJulie grew up in the 1970s and 80s as a highly anxious, perfectionistic, and extremely shy child. Changes in routine triggered meltdowns, collections were rigidly organised, and sensory sensitivities shaped daily life — all framed at the time as personality flaws or the result of being an only child.In school, Julie was quiet, compliant, and high-achieving. Anxiety and perfectionism were invisible to teachers, while internal distress went unnamed.Years later, as a first-time mother, Julie struggled with sensory overload, shutdowns, and intense guilt. When her son was diagnosed with autism at age three, Julie immersed herself in research — first to support him, and eventually to understand herself.3️⃣ Discussion HighlightsMasking and mislabeling: Shyness, rigidity, and perfectionism framed as flawsMaternal guilt: Internalising blame for sensory overwhelm and burnoutSelf-recognition: Seeing autistic traits through parenting without immediately claiming identityDiagnosis decisions: Self-diagnosis, formal assessment, and imposter syndromeDisclosure: Navigating silence, validation, and scepticism from othersAutistic parenting: Modelling boundaries, regulation, and self-advocacy4️⃣ Key LearningsAutism can become visible through caregiving before self-recognitionCompliance and quiet achievement often hide distressFormal diagnosis may change nothing — and everythingSelf-diagnosis is valid; seeking assessment is a personal choiceModelling boundaries is a powerful form of parentingUnderstanding yourself can reduce shame across generations📌 Notice BoardLink for Julie’s book: Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical AcceptanceJulie’s Substack: https://theautisticmom.substack.com/📣 Club Announcements🎧 The Late Diagnosis Club is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.💬 Join our online meetups and community at latediagnosis.club.📌 Check the LDC Notice Board for Member Contributions💜 There is a small charge — but no one is turned away for lack of funds.🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast🎙️ Executive Producers: Amy Burns, Anamaria B Call, Andrew Banner, Anna Goodson, Ashley Apelzin, Audrea Volker, Ben Coulson, Brian Churcek, Cappy Hamper, Carley Biblin, Charlene Deva, Chloe Cross, Clay Duhigg, Clayton Oliver, Danny Dunn, Daria Brown, David Garrido, Emily Burgess, Eric Crane, Erik Stenerud, Fiona Baker, Grace Norman, Helen Shaddock, Jaimie Collins, Jason Killian, Jen Unruh, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Tretter, Kathie Watson-Gray, Kenneth Knowles, Kira Cotter, Kristine Lang, Kyle Raney, Llew P Williams, Laura Alvarado, Laura De Vito, Laura Provonsha, Lily George, Nelly Darmi, Nigel Rogers, Rachel Miller, Tim Scott, Tyler Kunz, Victoria Steed, Yanina Wood.🎧 Producers: AJ Knight, Bobby Simon, Da Kovac, Eleanor Collins, Emily Griffiths, Hannah Hughes, Jennifer Kemp, Jonas Fløde, Kate F, Katie N Benitez, Kendra Murphy, Lisa Dennys, Logan Wall, Louise Lomas, Melissa Nance, Nicola Owen, Rebecka Johansson, Sam Morris, Sarah Hannah Morris.

  • How Becca Reclaimed Her Voice as an Autistic Adult

    How Becca Reclaimed Her Voice as an Autistic Adult
    Jan 2 2026
    In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Becca Engle, an Autistic educator, author, and advocate whose early disability was recognised, but whose autism was not fully named until adulthood.Becca was identified as disabled at age three and was once non-speaking. She was repeatedly told she would never be independent, never succeed academically, and never become a teacher. Instead, she grew up navigating education systems that focused on compliance over understanding — systems that demanded silence, masking, and endurance rather than support.Together, Angela and Becca explore early childhood diagnosis without clarity, the harm of behaviour-based interventions, masking in higher education, autistic anger as a catalyst for advocacy, and what it means to design learning environments that support regulation rather than control.🪑 AttendeesChair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocateGuest: Becca Engle — Autistic educator, author, and disability advocateYou: The Listener!🗒️ Meeting AgendaOpening remarks from the ChairMember introduction: Early childhood diagnosis and being “almost autistic”Discussion: Masking, compliance, and exclusion in education systemsRegulation, classroom design, and alternatives to seclusionKey learningsClub announcements🧾 Minutes from the Meeting1️⃣ Opening RemarksAngela introduces Becca as someone whose autism was visible early but never fully acknowledged. Despite being labelled with multiple developmental diagnoses, Becca’s needs were misunderstood, and expectations for her future were set painfully low.What followed was not support, but pressure to conform.2️⃣ Member Introduction: Becca’s StoryBecca was diagnosed at age three with conditions that stopped short of autism and was repeatedly told she would never speak, learn independently, or attend school. Early intervention included speech therapy, occupational therapy, and exposure to behaviour-based systems that relied on control and seclusion.Years later, in college, Becca was told she was “too autistic” to teach. She graduated anyway — and later pursued further credentials outside traditional pathways.Becca formally received an autism diagnosis in adulthood, bringing clarity, legitimacy, and permission to name what had always been true.3️⃣ Discussion HighlightsEarly diagnosis without clarity: Being labelled disabled but not autistic shaped expectations and access to supportCompliance over care: Behaviour systems prioritised obedience rather than regulation or understandingMasking in higher education: Silence was rewarded; authenticity was punishedAnger as fuel: Advocacy emerged not from inspiration, but from injusticeRegulation-focused classrooms: Becca describes her three-zone regulation model as an alternative to calm corners, seclusion, and PBISStimming and creativity: Writing, knitting, and movement as regulation — not distraction4️⃣ Key LearningsEarly identification without understanding can still cause harmCompliance systems teach masking, not self-regulationSilencing autistic communication is often framed as professionalismAnger can be an appropriate and productive response to injusticeWhen environments change, people don’t have to disappear to succeed📌 Notice BoardBecca’s Social Media:• Instagram: @StitchesStanzas• Facebook: Becca Engle / Stitches & StanzasBecca’s Books:• Step Into My Shoes: https://a.co/d/hJRVXSG• Through Our Lens series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3XQZ8KV📣 Club Announcements🎧 The Late Diagnosis Club is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.💬 Join our online meetups and community at latediagnosis.club.📌 Check the LDC Notice Board for Member Contributions💜 There is a small charge — but no one is turned away for lack of funds.🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast🎙️ Executive Producers: Amy Burns, Anamaria B Call, Andrew Banner, Anna Goodson, Ashley Apelzin, Audrea Volker, Ben Coulson, Brian Churcek, Cappy Hamper, Carley Biblin, Charlene Deva, Chloe Cross, Clay Duhigg, Clayton Oliver, Danny Dunn, Daria Brown, David Garrido, Emily Burgess, Eric Crane, Erik Stenerud, Fiona Baker, Grace Norman, Helen Shaddock, Jaimie Collins, Jason Killian, Jen Unruh, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Tretter, Kathie Watson-Gray, Kenneth Knowles, Kira Cotter, Kristine Lang, Kyle Raney, Llew P Williams, Laura Alvarado, Laura De Vito, Laura Provonsha, Lily George, Nelly Darmi, Nigel Rogers, Rachel Miller, Tim Scott, Tyler Kunz, Victoria Steed, Yanina Wood.🎧 Producers: AJ Knight, Bobby Simon, Da Kovac, Eleanor Collins, Emily Griffiths, Hannah Hughes, Jennifer Kemp, Jonas Fløde, Kate F, Katie N Benitez, Kendra Murphy, Lisa Dennys, Logan Wall, Louise Lomas, Melissa Nance, Nicola Owen, Rebecka ...
