The Late Diagnosis Club is a podcast by and for adults who found they were neurodivergent later-in-life. Hosted by Story Steward Dr. Angela Kingdon, this show features honest conversations with neurodivergent guests navigating the identity shock of late diagnosis or self-identification. Each episode explores neurodivergent traits through a cultural lens, debunks stereotypes, and offers solidarity for those processing family dynamics, unmasking, and reclaiming long-buried SPINs. Whether you’re self-identified or medically diagnosed, this club has been saving you a seat and helps you feel at home in your neurodivergent self.

    Hosted by Dr. Angela Kingdon, this episode features artist and activist Sarah Davies, who shares how she went from a dyslexia diagnosis in childhood to discovering her autism at 34.

    1️⃣ Opening Remarks

    Angela welcomed listeners to The Late Diagnosis Club — a space where Autistic and Neurodivergent adults can find community, connection, and conversation.

    “We’re not here to fix ourselves — we’re here to find each other.”


    2️⃣ Member Introduction: Sarah’s Story

    Sarah shared how she first identified as Dyslexic in school, but didn’t receive her autism diagnosis until age 34. She described years of masking, burnout, and finally, the relief of understanding her neurotype.

    “It wasn’t that I was too much — I was just trying to fit into the wrong room.”


    3️⃣ Discussion Highlights

    • Dopamine Dressing: Using bright colours and creative expression as self-regulation and joy.

    • Activism & Advocacy: From campaigning against the UK “bedroom tax” to founding Wrexham’s local Autistic meetup group.
    • Community as Medicine: Why Autistic friendships feel grounding, not draining.


    4️⃣ Key Learnings

    • Late diagnosis is an act of self-compassion, not correction.
