Daria Brown was featured as a guest on the Late Diagnosis Club Podcast. The episode was entitled, “How Daria Realised She Was Autistic 10 Years After Her Son’s Diagnosis.”
From the Late Diagnosis Club Podcast description:
In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Daria Brown, creator of Affect Autism and host of the We Chose Play podcast.
Daria shares her journey from parent advocate to late-identified Autistic adult, reflecting on the decade between her son’s diagnosis and her own. What began as a search for how to support her son eventually led to a deeper understanding of herself, reframing lifelong traits, parenting experiences, and ways of relating to the world.
They discuss DIR Floortime, rejecting compliance-based approaches, and the role of connection, regulation, and play in both parenting and personal growth.
This is a conversation about unlearning, identity, and what happens when the lens finally shifts.
Until next time, here’s to choosing play and experiencing joy every day!
