In this deeply personal episode of After Bedtime, it's just Deena and Tyler - no filters, no gloss - sharing their lived experiences as late-diagnosed autistic adults and parents. From diagnosis journeys to sensory overload, social hangovers, perseveration loops, and the challenges that can make everyday parenting feel extra tricky, they get real about what it's like to move through the world with brains that work differently.
You'll hear the moments they've masked, the ways they've struggled to "fit the mold," and the game-changing tools that help them show up for their kids, their marriages, and themselves. Lots of honesty, laughter, and the kind of conversation that reminds you: If you've ever felt like an outsider, you're not defective, nothing is wrong with you and you sure aren't alone. Being different isn't something to fix; it's something to embrace. Let's do it together.
