Hannah Gadsby & Han Arbuthnott: Growing Up With a Diagnosis

In today’s episode, we are revisiting our Mental health and Safety Conference from June 2021. For this conference, Yellow Ladybugs CEO Katie Koullas introduces our two Yellow Ladybug ambassadors. Our host is Han Arbuthnott, who is an autistic and queer comic. They will be interviewing autistic comic and author Hannah Gadsby. Please note that this episode features our interviewer who is transgender and since recording, has changed their name. We would like to acknowledge Han Arbuthnott's name change, both as part of this podcast recording, and for any written information in relation to the podcast. Together, Han and Hannah discuss mental health in relation to their own autism diagnoses, including what it was like to grow up either with or without a diagnosis, and the ways in which this may have impacted their mental health.

The Yellow Ladybugs Podcast invites #actuallyautistic people to talk about their journey, to help you with yours. Join in the conversation, as we explore the world of autistic girls, women and gender diverse individuals, and the often misunderstood and ignored internalised autistic experience. There will be plenty of ‘aha’ and ‘me too’ moments as we break down the stereotypes, lean into owning our strengths and supporting you through those challenging moments.
