In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes KW Raney, a therapist, creative, and podcast host who identified as AuDHD in adulthood after years of misdiagnosis, burnout, and self-blame.As a child, KW was labelled with oppositional defiant disorder and grew up believing he was difficult, lazy, and broken. But decades later, recognition of ADHD, and later Autism, helped him reframe the struggles that had followed him since childhood.Together, Angela and KW explore the cost of wrong labels, Autistic burnout, meltdowns mistaken for behavioural problems, sensory overwhelm, masking through work and education, and the long process of learning how to accommodate yourself instead of fighting yourself.🪑 AttendeesChair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocateGuest: KW Raney — Therapist, creative, and AuDHD advocateYou: The Listener!🗒️ Meeting AgendaOpening remarks from the Chair Member introduction: Misdiagnosis, masking, ADHD discovery and later Autism recognitionDiscussion: ODD labels and childhood misunderstandingBurnout, depression, and reframing the pastMeltdowns, sensory overwhelm, and self-accommodationMusic, animals, and nervous system regulationTrusting your own internal compassKey learningsClub announcements🧾 Minutes from the Meeting1️⃣ Opening RemarksAngela introduces KW Raney, who reflects on how years of wrong labels shaped his identity, and how discovering he was AuDHD helped everything begin to make sense.2️⃣ Member Introduction: KW’s StoryKW was diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder as a child, a label that framed his distress and overwhelm as bad behaviour rather than unmet needs.Despite academic success, he carried deep feelings of failure and self-blame into adulthood. It was only later, through recognising ADHD and then Autism, that he began to understand the lifelong patterns beneath those experiences.3️⃣ Discussion HighlightsODD label: Childhood distress framed as defiance instead of neurodivergenceHidden struggle: Good grades masking internal overwhelmAdult ADHD recognition: A workplace conversation changed the lensAutism realisation: Later patterns are becoming clear through a new frameworkBurnout reframe: Depression and suicidality viewed differently in hindsightMeltdowns misunderstood: Pressure-valve overload mistaken for behaviour problemsSelf-accommodation: Learning to support needs instead of suppressing themAnimal regulation: Comfort, pressure input, and nervous system calmMusic as lifeline: Emotional release, identity, and connectionCreative return: Rebuilding expression after burnoutInner compass: Learning to trust yourself over old labels4️⃣ Key LearningsWrong labels can shape identity for decades.Achievement does not cancel out struggle.Burnout is often misunderstood when neurodivergence is unseen.Meltdowns are overwhelm, not moral failure.Self-accommodation can be life-changing.Healing often begins when you trust your own experience.📌 Notice Boardhttps://substack.com/@mraskmorehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203579170📣 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.
