Back to the episode.
At that age, yes, in your perhaps late 70s, is there perhaps a degree of not wanting to unmask and a sort of mindset, well, I've got to late 70s, I've coped up until now, what's the point of making changes now?
Or do you see people at that age wanting to make changes to accept their true self after all of those years?
Such a powerful story.
Yes.
Thank you so much for sharing that.
So he struggled in his early years.
He made changes.
He took a path that was better suited to him.
If you suspect, like he did, that you have some kind of neurodivergence in your life, at that age, to get that confirmation, had he already done some processing and accepted it?
And therefore, at that age, is it more a case of it being some kind of closure?
Yeah, whenever I meet someone who's dedicated so much of their career towards a particular topic, in this case, neurodiversity, I always wonder where their passion comes from.
So what is your mission?
Right.
Yeah, just circling back to the grandmother you mentioned earlier, because I know 85% of the people who listen and watch this podcast are women.
Do you think generally women get diagnosed later in life?
And if so, why?
Gosh, there's a lot there, yeah.
So a young girl with ADHD has to put so much more effort into masking, to trying to fit in, to feel less misunderstood.
