In this episode the auticon team had the opportunity to 'turn the tables' and interview the host of our podcast series, Carrie Grant MBE.

Carrie - mother to four neurodivergent children and long-time advocate for autistic and neurodivergent people, tells auticon exclusively how she has been diagnosed as autistic (in January 2023).

The award-winning broadcaster, vocal coach, leadership coach tells us about how her diagnosis has lead her to reflect upon her childhood, career, the meaning of the word 'autistic' and what she hopes her diagnosis will mean to others.

Carrie spoke about her decision to use the auticon podcast to share her announcement. She said, “I cannot think of a better group to do this kind of interview with than you guys, because what you are doing is not just life-changing for autistic people (and) therefore life-changing for their families, but actually you are system-changing. And when you get to system changing, that's when you're talking about legacy.”
