What does “getting diagnosed” really mean—beyond the label?
In this episode of Odd Ducklings, Daria and Katie untangle all the tension, hope, fear, and possibility that come with pursuing or living with a neurodivergent diagnosis in adulthood.
We talk about:
The pressure to simplify complex neuro stories for the algorithm
How labels can hurt or heal
Disclosure, boundaries, and navigating judgement at work
Tools like the “Workplace Adjustment Passport” and real talk about asking for what you need
If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “Do I even deserve the label—or is it just another performance?” — this one’s for you.
