Episode 3 - Autistic at 40
Our guest on Episode 3 is Toni B, creator and host of the podcast 'Autistic at 40'. After a lifetime of existential confusion, wondering if there was any place for her in this world, along with the pain and shame of knowing that she was different but never understanding *why* Toni stumbled by chance upon a YouTube video about autistic masking, just around the same time she was wondering whether it was possible to carry on living. It was in this way that Toni, a health policy professional, discovered she was autistic - at 40. Toni is now on a mission to share everything she has learned about her autistic life - for the purpose that some of it may help others make sense of their too.Get in touch with ToniConnect with CatherineBuy Catherine's Book 'Rediscovered'Visit Catherine's website Contact CatherineFollow Catherine on Instagram Need Post Discovery Support?Join our next 6 week post discovery support circleJoin our Late Discovered Club Community & our FREE monthly Community Connection Circle.Explore The Asta Community of Professionals NEW National Autism Peer Education Programme From December 2025, Catherine will be hosting the NHS commissioned and funded 'Autism Central Podcast' as part of the £6 million National Autism Peer Education Programme being delivered by Anna Freud over the next 3 years.

Episode 2 - Change the Narrative
Our guest on episode 2 is ex-Olympic Rower and Founder of Neurodiverse Sport, Caragh McMurtry. Caragh talks to host Catherine Asta about her late discovered autism diagnosis, how she was misdiagnosed as having bipolar during what should have been the peak of her athletic career, and why she is now fiercely focused on changing the narrative around neuroinclusion and neurodiversity in sport through education, so that other neurodivergent athletes don’t suffer in the way she has.
