That's Me! Autistic Lives Unfiltered
Hosted by Kory Andreas
A late-diagnosed AuDHD therapist interviews other neurodivergent professionals about their unfiltered lives, diagnoses, and work.
An interview show where a neurodivergent therapist talks with other neurodivergent professionals—therapists, doctors, authors, comedians—about how their neurology shapes their personal history and professional work. It specifically focuses on the 'late-diagnosed, high-masking' experience, moving beyond stereotypes to explore the nuanced realities of autistic adulthood. The conversations are peer-to-peer explorations of shared identity, not just expert interviews.
“Unlike shows that position the host as a sole expert, this podcast's power comes from its collaborative, peer-to-peer dynamic. The host's shared identity as a late-diagnosed professional creates a uniquely validating space where guests discuss their work and life with unfiltered honesty.”
