About this listen

 Misunderstood your whole life, ashamed, lost, lonely and struggling to cope? Exhausted from trying, but never quite managing, to fit in? Welcome to the Late Discovered Club, home to thousands of late discovered autistic women.

Late discovery can be life-changing - a lifetime of mysteries finally making sense. But there can also be a deep accompanying sense of grief. This is a book about coming home to yourself.

Catherine's empathetic guidance will help you advocate for yourself with a greater degree of self-awareness. With chapters on everything from masking, mental health, meltdowns, and menopause, to burnout, sensory processing, emotions, relationships, and work - this will help you to nurture your strengths as an autistic woman.

I found this book very helpful in understanding many of my own experiences. I loved the use of quotes from other Autistic women throughout. This is the book which has most resonated with my experience and I would highly recommend to other late diagnosed women and their friends/family.

A beautifully written book

This book has been fantastic to listen to. As a newly diagnosed person with ASD and possible ADHD at the age of 52, I found the book and its contents so familiar with just about every penny dropping moment possible. Catherine Asta speaks with such honesty and a wealth of knowledge. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who has received a diagnosis of autism late in life. The book is so good, I binge listened to it in one day and on the release date.

Amazing book 🤩

Catherine Asta has created an incredibly powerful and affirming book with lots of prompts for the reader to examine and understand their own experience and curate a way of being that makes sense to them.
What an amazing project. Between this and her podcast she has empowered so many women in previously unimaginable ways. To be seen and understood and having the language for our experiences is no small thing after navigating decades without that. I’m certain she has changed many lives for the better exponentially.

Amazing resource

I would have liked to hear more about coping mechanisms (unhealthy ones that have been overcome) and self regulation

Honest disclosure

This book was incredibly helpful to me. I recognised myself in its pages, and realised some of my behaviours are caused by autism, that I hadn’t realised were, and had been ashamed of and felt there was lack in me that caused me to do them. This book helped me to start not to punish myself in this way. It has helped me see where I could help myself and ask for help from others. The healing is beginning. I was diagnosed eleven months ago, with autism and ADHD, aged 57. My life is very lonely, disappointing and difficult. I’m grateful for the hope this book has given me that I may be able to make my life more fulfilling and easier.
