#37 Late Diagnosis with Becky Langan

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Musician, I’m joined by Becky Langan, a wonderful percussive fingerstyle guitarist known for her unique style and artistry. Becky has released numerous captivating pieces, recently launched her debut album, and reached the semi-final of Guitar Star, where she was mentored by legends like George Benson, Wilko Johnson, Jon Gomm, and Preston Reed. We dive deep into Becky’s journey of receiving a late diagnosis of ADHD and Autism, exploring how it has impacted both her personal life and music career. This episode is an unfiltered, unmasked conversation that takes many unexpected turns, making it probably the most authentic and AuDHD chat I’ve ever had on the podcast.
