Welcome to episode 104. Today I explore the pros and cons of labelling, particularly when it comes to autism and neurodivergence. Is a diagnosis empowering or limiting? I share how understanding my own and my children’s neurotype has brought clarity, self-compassion, and real-life support. Labels can feel restricting to some—but for me it has allowed a deeper level of self-acceptance. We talk identity, advocacy, and why embracing difference can be transformative for both children and adults seeking to understand themselves more deeply. Let’s dive in.

In this episode:

  • Labels can empower – How the right diagnosis can bring relief and self-understanding, replacing harmful misconceptions with clarity.
  • Compassion comes with visibility – Why being seen as different, not difficult, often invites more kindness and patience from others.
  • Diagnosis is personal – Whether formal or self-diagnosed, what matters is how your diagnosis helps you to live your best, authentic life..
