  • How Sean Realised His Burnout Was Autistic, Not Failure

    How Sean Realised His Burnout Was Autistic, Not Failure
    2025/12/19
    In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon sits down with Sean Hawthorne, a late-identifying Autistic adult who is still in the very middle of discovery — not the end of the journey. Sean spent decades performing a socially acceptable version of himself: the reliable friend, the focused finance professional, the guy who shaped his interests to fit in and kept his sensory overwhelm hidden. But in 2021, a catastrophic burnout forced him to confront a truth he could no longer outrun.Together, Angela and Sean explore autistic burnout, somatic reconnection, cultural and religious messaging, unmasking, identity, self-diagnosis, and the relief of realising you were never broken — you were misunderstood.🪑 AttendeesChair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocateGuest: Sean Hawthorne — Self-diagnosed Autistic adult navigating late discoveryYou: The Listener!🗒️ Meeting AgendaOpening remarks from the ChairMember introduction: Sean’s early cluesDiscussion: Burnout, masking, religion, culture & re-learning the bodyKey learningsClub announcements🧾 Minutes from the Meeting1️⃣ Opening RemarksAngela introduces Sean as someone still in process — mid-discovery, mid-unmasking, mid-clarity — reflecting the reality that Autistic identification can take years, even a decade, to understand fully.2️⃣ Member Introduction: Sean’s StorySean’s earliest clues were sensory processing difficulties so intense that he sometimes froze, unable to respond to teachers who insisted he “just answer.” He excelled academically only when placed in a smaller, more patient classroom — a sign of undiscovered neurodivergence that went unnoticed.3️⃣ Discussion HighlightsSensory overwhelm: Freezing in classrooms, noise sensitivity, overstimulation.Masking: Clubs, alcohol, social rules, performing “acceptable” masculinity.Cultural & religious pressure: Caribbean/Christian frameworks that framed distress as spiritual or disciplinary issues.Burnout: Losing mobility, shutting down, thinking it was “a lack of discipline.”Somatic reconnection: Learning interoception, feeling his body’s signals for the first time.Self-diagnosis: Valid, grounded, and life-saving.Intersectionality: Autistic burnout in the context of Blackness, surveillance, and systemic injustice.4️⃣ Key LearningsBeing dismissed doesn’t mean you were wrong — it means you were unseen.Masking becomes a personality, not a strategy.Burnout often looks like failure until you have the right language.Self-identification can save lives long before formal diagnosis is accessible.Reconnecting with the body is disorienting — but also a homecoming.Autistic adults aren’t fragile; we’re deprived of support.📣 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.

  • How Georgina Turned Years of Being Dismissed Into Life-Saving Work

    How Georgina Turned Years of Being Dismissed Into Life-Saving Work
    2025/12/12
    In this week’s meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Georgina Banks - Autistic, ADHD, chronically ill, and the founder & CEO of AuDHD UK, a suicide-prevention charity reshaping access to diagnosis and support across the UK.Georgina spent nearly a decade searching for answers while doctors dismissed her chronic illness, sensory overwhelm, and burnout as “anxiety.” In today’s conversation, she shares how late discovery helped her finally understand her body, her needs, and her mission — and how she turned personal pain into a national effort to save neurodivergent lives and to support hundreds of adults still fighting to be believed.This episode includes a discussion of suicide. Please listen with care.🪑 AttendeesChair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocateGuest: Georgina Banks — Autistic & ADHD founder of AuDHD UKYou: The Listener!🗒️ Meeting AgendaOpening remarks from the ChairMember introduction: Georgina’s late identificationDiscussion: chronic illness, dismissal, and Autistic burnoutBuilding AuDHD UK & suicide preventionKey learningsClub announcements🧾 Minutes from the Meeting1️⃣ Opening RemarksAngela opens with a truth many late-identified Autistic adults know deeply:We often spend years trying to survive systems that don’t recognise what’s happening to us.Georgina’s story shows how dangerous that invisibility can be — and how powerful clarity becomes once we have it.2️⃣ Member Introduction: Georgina’s storyAt 15, Georgina became severely ill while preparing for GCSEs. Doctors insisted it was “stress.”At 19, a gastroenterologist noted she had “a hint of Asperger’s.” At 20, she was officially diagnosed Autistic. ADHD would come years later, after burnout and shutdowns became impossible to ignore.3️⃣ Discussion HighlightsMisdiagnosed for years: Chronic illness, shutdowns, and sensory collapses dismissed as “anxiety.”Autistic traits overlooked: Literal thinking, tics, clumsiness, non-verbal episodes, sensory pain.Unmasking & regression: After diagnosis, lifelong compensations fell away.Founding AuDHD UK: Building a suicide-prevention charity offering assessments and weekly peer-support groups for undiagnosed adults who cannot afford private pathways.Why diagnosis access matters: Not for a label — but for safety, language, stability, and belonging.4️⃣ Key LearningsBeing unseen by the system does not mean you were wrong about yourself.Burnout, shutdown, and sensory overwhelm can masquerade as “anxiety.”Identification is a turning point, not the end point.Suicide prevention begins with validation, access, and community.Neurodivergent people design better support systems when they lead them.📌 Notice BoardAuDHD UK — https://audhduk.orgThe suicide-prevention charity founded by Georgina.

    How Mike Spent Five Lost Years Before Realising He’s Autistic
    2025/12/05
    In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Mike Matthews — a late-diagnosed Autistic dad, writer, music obsessive, and dry-witted survivor of misdiagnosis, medical gaslighting, and five years of unanswered burnout.Together, Angela and Mike explore the messy middle between “something is wrong” and “oh — it’s autism,” the years lost to misunderstanding, the grief and relief of late self-discovery, and the unexpected joy of building a life that actually fits.🪑 AttendeesChair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocateGuest: Mike Matthews — Autistic dad, writer, punk enthusiast & playlist archivistYou: The Listener!🗒️ Meeting AgendaOpening remarks from the ChairMember introduction: Mike’s misdiagnosis journeyDiscussion: Burnout, sensory life, stigma & spiralsMember spotlight: Autistic creativity, playlists & book writingKey learningsClub announcements🧾 Minutes from the Meeting1️⃣ Opening RemarksAngela welcomes listeners into a story many late-diagnosed adults know too well: years of searching for answers, a system that keeps missing us, and the emotional cost of untreated Autistic burnout disguised as “depression.” Mike’s path began after becoming a parent — when suddenly the time he used for emotional regulation evaporated, and everything fell apart.2️⃣ Member Introduction: Mike's storyFrom the very first doctor visit, Mike’s concerns were waved away, misread, or treated with trial-and-error medications that created new problems rather than solving the old ones.3️⃣ Discussion HighlightsFive years of misdiagnosis: burnout mistaken for depression, sensory issues overlooked, and a formal evaluation that labelled him with the wrong disorder.Medication mishaps: antidepressants causing side effects, withdrawal “brain zaps,” and treatments that obscured the real issue — autistic burnout.Grief and relief: mourning the lost years while embracing clarity, self-knowledge, and a gentler relationship with himself and others.4️⃣ Key LearningsAutistic burnout is not depression — and treating it as such can prolong suffering.Misdiagnosis is common, especially when sensory experiences are ignored.Self-knowledge changes everything📣 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.
