How does a late autism diagnosis reshape a person’s life--especially for adults who have long masked their neurodivergence? In this episode of Women Leading with Purpose, we speak with Dr. Jessica Myszak, a licensed psychologist specializing in autism evaluations for both children and adults.

Dr. Jessica shares expert insights on:
• The emotional and psychological impact of receiving a diagnosis later in life
• Reliable self-assessment tools like the RAADS-R, CAT-Q, and ASPIE quizzes
• The benefits of official diagnosis—such as access to accommodations in school, work, and daily life
• How late diagnosis helps people understand burnout, meltdowns, masking, and self-worth
• Advocacy strategies, including how to talk with family and providers
• Online and community resources for continued support

Whether you're exploring neurodiversity for yourself or supporting someone you love, this episode offers practical tools, compassionate guidance, and hope for the journey ahead.
