Episode notes

If you've been misdiagnosed, dismissed, or

told the wrong story about yourself for years - this episode is for you. We look at

why the autism-or-trauma question gets answered wrongly so often: bias in who gets

diagnosed, assessment tools that were never built for women and gender-diverse

adults, and the ways even a careful, experienced professional can still miss it.

Two contrasting cases show how it happens - and why getting it wrong is a system

problem, not a personal failing.
