Late To The Party - a podcast on Autism, AuDHD and Neurodivergence
A podcast dedicated to late-diagnosed and self-diagnosed individuals on the autism spectrum, including those with AuDHD and other neurodivergent traits. Each episode will explore various topics that examine the experiences of individuals who have navigated life without prior awareness of their neurodivergence. Our host, Dan, offers a personal and experiential perspective, with the intention of sharing stories that may provide assistance and support to others on similar journeys.

Episode 68 - Rewriting the Story: Jessica Horner on Letting Go of the Deficit Lens
Three years after her first appearance, Jessica is back on the podcast for an honest catch‑up about life six‑plus years post‑diagnosis. We talk about what’s shifted, what hasn’t, and how understanding our neurodivergence continues to shape our mental health, identity, and day‑to‑day lives.
We touch on ADHD, dyscalculia, reframing autism and ADHD away from deficit language, and the ongoing work of making sense of our past and present through a more compassionate lens. It’s a grounded, reflective conversation between two late‑identified neurodivergent adults comparing notes on what it actually means to grow into this understanding over time.
