Summary

CW: Brief discussion of suicide and depression. If you are neurodivergent, and especially if it took you a while to receive a diagnosis, you know what it’s like to feel different. Paige Layle struggled through her childhood and early teens –– feeling frustrated by everything from the feel of her clothing to how to behave socially around her peers. It wasn’t until she was formally diagnosed with Autism in her late teens that she finally understood why her struggles felt so different from those around her. In this episode, Paige joins host Tori Dunlap to discuss the nuances and stigma around being an autistic woman, detailing her journey to diagnosis, misconceptions about autism, the unique ways autistic brains function, and the importance of creating neurodiverse-friendly environments. Paige also touches on her transition to entrepreneurship, handling finances, and the impact of her advocacy on others.
