And if or when they do receive a diagnosis, they find there isn’t much support for adults who have been able to live independently and maintain employment.

My diagnosis journey started with struggles at work, and it’s a common one. Many of us experience “spiky success” with employment, even after doing well in education. This can take the form of burning out, struggling to adjust to change, or just hitting a wall (or falling off a cliff). And when you get there, there are almost no resources to help you get to the other side. Is it safe to disclose at your workplace, and would it lead to the accommodations you need to be successful? Can your current role be more suitable at another organisation? Do you need to change careers? Is self-employment a feasible option for you? How do you set yourself up for success and get off the roundabout of burnout? What does look like?

With this podcast, I hope to let us learn from each other. To give women a safe space to talk about the struggles that may not show. And to redefine what success looks like.
