As a developing child, Larissa Muir’s son was being excluded from aspects
of the community and faced challenges in his initial years of education.
Through clinical support and a medical process of discovery, he was
initially diagnosed with ADHD, and eventually this led to a recognition of
autism.
But, what do you do when you realise that the way he thinks … is the way
you think and view the world. For Larissa, this was a revelation and
allowed her to also be diagnosed with both conditions. As a professionally
successful adult in her mid 30’s, she was now in a position to realise why
her intuition and behaviour was shaped the way it was. But, it also
presented a dilemma … how would people acknowledge her when she shared with
them this important information.
