I vividly remember the day I received my late neurodivergent diagnosis. It was a kaleidoscope of emotions – guilt, shame, sadness, fear, relief, acceptance, and wonder. In that moment, I found myself standing at the intersection of confusion and isolation.
Yet, as I sought support and guidance, I discovered a significant gap. There were no tailored programs addressing the unique needs of those like me, grappling with a late neurodivergent diagnosis. The journey ahead seemed daunting, with resources scattered and understanding hard to come by.
Driven by my own transformative experience, I embarked on a mission. I created Neurodiversity 101 to be the program I wished existed when I needed it the most. This is not just a course; it's the culmination of personal triumph over the challenges of late diagnosis.
