https://www.thelatediscoveredclub.com/s4-ep8-radical-acceptance/ (Opens in a new window)In this episode, Catherine is joined by Julie, a Canadian based writer, artist, and creator of “The Autistic Mum” on Substack.
Julie shares her powerful late discovery story, receiving an autism diagnosis at age 44 after a decade of questioning and reflection sparked by her son’s own diagnosis.
Together, they explore the emotional terrain of late discovery, generational autism, sensory differences, and the impact of masking and burnout.
Julie speaks candidly about the challenges of navigating healthcare and disclosure, and the liberating journey of radical self-acceptance.
They also discuss her upcoming book, Motherness, her forthcoming memoir about "generational autism, parenthood, and radical acceptance" (publication date 23 September, 2025) which traces her experience of raising an autistic child while rediscovering herself.
Julie M Green is a Canadian writer whose work has been featured in the Washington Post, Globe and Mail, Healthline, Parents, Chatelaine, Today's Parent, The Mighty, and more. She has appeared on CTV, BBC Radio, Sirius XM, and CBC Radio.
In 2024, she was a finalist for the CBC Nonfiction Prize.
