Late Diagnosis, Self-Discovery & Neurodivergent Relationships with Savannah
Manage episode 489633045 series 3608004
I sit down with Savannah—one of those people you instantly click with. Though we've never met in person, our conversation felt like chatting with a longtime friend. Savannah shares her story of being diagnosed with both autism and ADHD as an adult, and how that late diagnosis became a turning point in how she sees herself, her relationships, and the way she moves through the world.
If you're a woman who’s been diagnosed with ADHD or autism later in life, or you’ve always felt a little “different” but never had the words to explain why, this episode is going to speak directly to your heart. Savannah opens up about the grief and relief that often follow a diagnosis, the clarity that comes with understanding your neurotype, and how she’s using her experience to bring more awareness and advocacy into the world.
We also dive into what it looks like to navigate a relationship where different neurotypes meet—how communication shifts, what support can look like, and why honoring each other’s needs is vital. Savannah brings both vulnerability and joy to the table, reminding us that neurodivergence isn’t something to fix—it’s something to understand, embrace, and live fully within.
This is a conversation filled with honesty, laughter, and those powerful moments where you feel seen. Whether you’re just starting to explore your own neurodivergent identity or deep in the journey, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and the kind of connection that reminds you you’re not alone.
