Katie Toner shares her journey of self-discovery, explaining how, before her diagnosis, she often felt anxious and out of place. After receiving her diagnosis, Katie realised she wasn't broken, just different, and began to understand how to thrive in her unique way. Using her personal experiences, Katie now helps neurodivergent children and young people embrace their individuality and learn to communicate their needs. She founded Dark Sky Sleepovers, [https://www.darkskysleepovers.co.uk/] a business offering themed events, and The Wild Bunch [https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-toner-unite-club/], which provides training in sensory regulation. In this episode Katie talks to Kerrie Highcock, family development manager at NEAS about the diagnostic process and how it has shaped her life.
