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.

Welcome back to Odd Ducklings! In today’s episode, I’m diving into why we should talk about failure — especially as neurodivergent creators. Inspired by agile culture and messy life lessons, I’m unpacking how owning mistakes reduces shame, builds resilience, and fuels creativity.This is Day 3 (AND 4 MAYBE?) of my 7-day challenge to post one video a day around creativity, neurodiversity, ADHD, perfectionism, and the unpredictable process of making things happen (or not) and learning from it.You can also check my reaction to this video where I make fun and painfully judge my current AND old self for all the obvious reasons! 😁https://youtu.be/94acr-GKpBsNew video every day this week — let’s see where this takes us.🎥 Subscribe, like, comment — your feedback means everything.
