This conversation with Natalie explores the personal journey of understanding autism and ADHD, particularly from the perspective of a mother navigating her own diagnosis alongside her daughter's. It delves into reflections on childhood experiences, the challenges of parenting neurodiverse children, and the importance of community awareness and resources for autism. The discussion emphasizes breaking stereotypes and understanding the spectrum of autism, especially for women who often go unnoticed in the diagnosis process.
