The Late Diagnosis Club

Dr. Angela Kingdon describes herself as a "story steward," and that title fits. The Late Diagnosis Club is built around honest conversations with adults who discovered their neurodivergence later in life -- sometimes in their 30s, 40s, or beyond -- and are still making sense of what that means. Part of the Autistic Culture Podcast Network, the show has released 27 episodes since launching and updates weekly, with conversations running about 50 minutes each. Guests share the identity shock of realizing that decades of anxiety, eating disorders, OCD misdiagnoses, and burnout actually pointed to autism or ADHD all along. Episodes cover masking and unmasking, professional pivots after diagnosis, family dynamics when a parent gets identified after their child, and the difference between formal medical diagnosis and self-identification. The most recent episode features Carolyn Kiel (host of Beyond 6 Seconds) discussing how she discovered she was autistic through her own podcast -- a meta moment that captures the show's spirit perfectly. Rated a perfect 5.0 stars from 8 reviews, with a small but clearly devoted audience. The show does not rush people through their stories. Angela gives guests space to sit with contradictions and complicated feelings, which is exactly what late-diagnosed adults need. Available on all major platforms with ad-free access through the Autistic Culture Plus subscription. If you got your diagnosis as an adult and felt like the ground shifted under you, this podcast understands that experience from the inside.
