Late Diagnosis Club

How Jason Built a Life That Worked for Him After His Late Autism Diagnosis

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Jason Killian, an engineer, hiking instructor, and long time member of the club, who shares his journey to understanding himself as Autistic in his 40s. Growing up in a neurodivergent household, Jason was unknowingly accommodated in early childhood. Despite strong academic performance, Jason struggled with social integration, bullying, and later workplace dynamics, experiences that only made sense years later through the lens of Autism. This is a conversation about understanding your needs, building a life that fits, and what changes when you finally have the right framework. 🪑 Attendees Chair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocate Guest: Jason Killian — Engineer, hiking instructor, and Autistic advocate You: The Listener! 🗒️ Meeting Agenda * Opening remarks from the Chair * Member introduction: Early environment and hidden accommodations * Discussion: School overwhelm and social expectations * IEPs, missed diagnoses, and academic masking * Workplace challenges and burnout * Late identification and diagnosis journey * Self-accommodation and relationships * Hiking, regulation, and sensory experience * Key learnings * Club announcements 🧾 Minutes from the Meeting 1️⃣ Opening Remarks Angela introduces Jason Killian, a longtime LDC member whose story explores what it means to grow up supported, but not understood, and to find clarity later in life. 2️⃣ Member Introduction: Jason’s Story Jason grew up in a neurodivergent family where his needs were naturally accommodated — quiet spaces, independence, and room to explore interests. But once he entered school, sensory overwhelm, social expectations, and group environments became challenging. Without a framework for Autism, these struggles were interpreted as social difficulties rather than unmet needs. Although he performed well academically, Jason experienced bullying, isolation, and later workplace challenges, particularly around communication, expectations, and social norms. It wasn’t until adulthood — after years of reflection, therapy, and recognising patterns — that Jason identified as Autistic and sought a formal diagnosis. 3️⃣ Discussion Highlights * Neurodivergent household: Early needs met without formal recognition * School shock: Sensory overwhelm and social confusion in group settings * IEP limitations: Focus on social skills, not sensory or learning needs * Bullying experience: Social differences targeted in adolescence and work * College turning point: Finding acceptance in the queer community * Pandemic reflection: Patterns recognised through shared experiences online * Relationship clarity: Shared neurodivergence improves understanding * Workplace shift: Smaller company enabling better fit and autonomy * Hiking regulation: Nature as a consistent nervous system support * Sensory joy: Smell, sound, and visual richness in outdoor environments 4️⃣ Key Learnings * Support without understanding can still leave gaps. * Academic success does not mean needs are being met. * Late identification often comes through pattern recognition over time. * Self-accommodation is a critical skill for wellbeing. * Relationships can improve with shared understanding and language. * Environment plays a major role in regulation and success. * Special interests can become both careers and lifelines. 📣 Club Announcements 🎧 The Late Diagnosis Club is available on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0TXhqtffSfmJrGm5zHANCQ?si=90e3cdf219fe43eb], Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-late-diagnosis-club/id1847627224], and all major platforms. 💬 Join our online meetups and community at latediagnosis.club [https://latediagnosis.club/]. 📌 Check the LDC Notice Board [https://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/t/noticeboard] for Member Contributions 💜 There is a small charge — but no one is turned away for lack of funds. 🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com [http://autisticcultureplus.com/] 🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com [http://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/] 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast [https://www.instagram.com/autisticculturepodcast] 🎙️ Executive Producers: Amy Burns, Anamaria B Call, Andrew Banner, Anna Goodson, Ashley Apelzin, Audrea Volker, Ben Coulson, Brian Churcek, Cappy Hamper, Carley Biblin, Charlene Deva, Chloe Cross, Clay Duhigg, Clayton Oliver, Danny Dunn, Daria Brown, David Garrido, Emily Burgess, Eric Crane, Erik Stenerud, Fiona Baker, Grace Norman, Helen Shaddock, Jaimie Collins, Jason Killian, Jen Unruh, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Tretter, Kathie Watson-Gray, Kenneth Knowles, Kira Cotter, Kristine Lang, Kyle Raney, Llew P Williams, Laura Alvarado, Laura De Vito, Laura Provonsha, Lily George, Nelly Darmi, Nigel Rogers, Rachel Miller, Tim Scott, Tyler Kunz, Victoria Steed, Yanina Wood. 🎧 Producers: AJ Knight, Bobby Simon, Da Kovac, Eleanor Collins, Emily Griffiths, Hannah Hughes, Jennifer Kemp, Jonas Fløde, Kate F, Katie N Benitez, Kendra Murphy, Lisa Dennys, Logan Wall, Louise Lomas, Melissa Nance, Nicola Owen, Rebecka Johansson, Sam Morris, Sarah Hannah Morris. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

How Danielle Reframed Autism Through a Black Feminist Lens After Her Late Diagnosis

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Danielle Procope Bell, PhD, an Autistic Black feminist scholar and Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Danielle shares how she knew from early childhood that she was different, finding other children chaotic, preferring books and structure, and feeling an invisible glass wall between herself and others. Like many late-identified adults, Danielle’s recognition journey deepened after her son’s Autism diagnosis, when family patterns suddenly came into focus and helped her understand herself in a new way. This is a conversation about identity, lineage, belonging, and what becomes possible when you finally see yourself clearly. 🪑 Attendees Chair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocate Guest: Danielle Procope Bell, PhD. — Scholar, professor, and Black feminist thinker You: The Listener! 🗒️ Meeting Agenda * Opening remarks from the Chair * Member introduction: Early difference, late recognition * Discussion: Hyperlexia, gifted programs, and childhood belonging * Family neurodivergence and being accepted at home * Son’s diagnosis and family pattern recognition * Race, gender, and what gets missed in Autism conversations * Autigendering and Black feminist theory * Key learnings * Club announcements 🧾 Minutes from the Meeting 1️⃣ Opening Remarks Angela introduces Danielle Procope Bell, PhD, whose work sits at the intersection of Autism, Black feminism, gender, and identity. 2️⃣ Member Introduction: Danielle’s Story Danielle recognised from kindergarten that she related differently to the world. While other children felt unpredictable and chaotic, she preferred reading, routine, and solitary play. Her traits were interpreted as shyness and giftedness rather than Autism. She was moved into a gifted program, but the transition also brought racial and class isolation. Later, after her son was diagnosed as Autistic, Danielle began to recognise familiar patterns in herself, her father, and wider family members — leading to her own formal diagnosis. 3️⃣ Discussion Highlights * Kindergarten awareness: Knowing early that other children felt chaotic * Hyperlexia signs: Reading from age three and a deep love of books * Son’s diagnosis: Recognition through seeing herself reflected in him * Representation gap: Autism narratives dominated by white male stereotypes * Traits misread: Black Autistic traits interpreted as aggression or defiance * ODD pipeline: Black children funnelled into behavioural labels instead of support * Medical privilege: Access to quality adult assessment shaped outcomes * Black feminism as home: Intellectual spaces that affirmed difference before diagnosis 4️⃣ Key Learnings * Many Autistic people know they are different long before they know why. * Diagnosis journeys are shaped by race, gender, and class. * Traits are often interpreted differently depending on who displays them. * Representation changes who gets recognised and supported. * Identity can be built through community as much as through medicine. 📌 Notice Board * The Department of Africana Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville [https://africana.utk.edu] * Black, White, and in Colour: Essays on American Literature and Culture [https://a.co/d/08c4c3nd]by Hortense J.

How Scott’s Grief and Burnout Led to His Late Autism Diagnosis

Warning: This episode includes discussion of terminal cancer, sudden bereavement, grief, burnout, and mental health struggles. Please listen with care. In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Scott Simpson, a late-identified Autistic and ADHD creator, former broadcast journalist, and widowed father who has been raising his son solo since 2016. After decades working in radio, Scott’s life began to unravel through grief, burnout, and the collapse of the structures that had quietly supported him for years. What followed was a search to understand executive functioning, ADHD, and eventually Autism. Together, Angela and Scott explore hidden support needs, burnout after loss, Autistic shutdown, identity through memoirs and community, and why many late-identified adults only recognise their needs once life’s scaffolding disappears. This is a conversation about grief, structure, survival, and finally understanding yourself. 🪑 Attendees Chair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocate Guest: Scott Simpson — Content creator, former broadcaster, and late-identified AuDHD parent You: The Listener! 🗒️ Meeting Agenda * Opening remarks from the Chair * Member introduction: Gifted kid, burnout, and late recognition * Discussion: Special education and social confusion * Widowhood, solo parenting, and hidden support needs * Radio career collapse and autistic burnout * ADHD diagnosis and later Autism recognition * Structure, scaffolding, and unmet needs * Key learnings * Club announcements 🧾 Minutes from the Meeting 1️⃣ Opening Remarks Angela introduces Scott Simpson, a creator and former radio professional whose late identification followed years of grief, burnout, and trying to understand why life had become so much harder. 2️⃣ Member Introduction: Scott’s Story Scott was identified as “gifted” in childhood and placed into a specialist education program. While his intelligence was recognised early, his social struggles and deeper support needs were not. As an adult, he built a long career in broadcasting, married, became a father, and later experienced profound loss when his wife died of cancer while their son was still young. When career structure and family scaffolding fell away, Scott began exploring executive functioning, received an ADHD diagnosis, and later recognised Autism. 3️⃣ Discussion Highlights * Gifted program: Early intelligence recognised, while deeper needs were missed * Smart but struggling: Academic ability masking social confusion * Relationship patterns: Trying hard without understanding the rules * Sudden grief: Becoming a widowed father to a three-year-old * Radio collapse: Career pressure, impossible demands, and burnout * Hidden scaffolding: Job structure and parenting routines quietly sustaining life * ADHD first: Executive functioning becomes the doorway to understanding * Autism later: Shutdowns, overwhelm, and lifelong patterns making sense * Memoirs mattered: Learning through Autistic voices and lived experience * Support needs emerge: Struggles become visible once the structure disappears 4️⃣ Key Learnings * High achievement can hide unmet support needs. * Grief and burnout often expose needs that were once masked. * Executive functioning struggles are often misunderstood as laziness or failure. * Late recognition can come after life changes remove coping systems. * Autistic voices and memoirs can be more powerful than diagnostic checklists. * Support is often invisible until it is gone. 📌 Notice Board Scott’s Website [https://www.scottsimpson.ca/] Scott’s YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/bigasssuperstar] 📣 Club Announcements 🎧 The Late Diagnosis Club is available on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0TXhqtffSfmJrGm5zHANCQ?si=90e3cdf219fe43eb], Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-late-diagnosis-club/id1847627224], and all major platforms. 💬 Join our online meetups and community at latediagnosis.club [https://latediagnosis.club/]. 📌 Check the LDC Notice Board [https://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/t/noticeboard] for Member Contributions 💜 There is a small charge — but no one is turned away for lack of funds. 🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com [http://autisticcultureplus.com/] 🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com [http://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/] 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast [https://www.instagram.com/autisticculturepodcast] 🎙️ Executive Producers: Amy Burns, Anamaria B Call, Andrew Banner, Anna Goodson, Ashley Apelzin, Audrea Volker, Ben Coulson, Brian Churcek, Cappy Hamper, Carley Biblin, Charlene Deva, Chloe Cross, Clay Duhigg, Clayton Oliver, Danny Dunn, Daria Brown, David Garrido, Emily Burgess, Eric Crane, Erik Stenerud, Fiona Baker, Grace Norman, Helen Shaddock, Jaimie Collins, Jason Killian, Jen Unruh, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Tretter, Kathie Watson-Gray, Kenneth Knowles, Kira Cotter, Kristine Lang, Kyle Raney, Llew P Williams, Laura Alvarado, Laura De Vito, Laura Provonsha, Lily George, Nelly Darmi, Nigel Rogers, Rachel Miller, Tim Scott, Tyler Kunz, Victoria Steed, Yanina Wood. 🎧 Producers: AJ Knight, Bobby Simon, Da Kovac, Eleanor Collins, Emily Griffiths, Hannah Hughes, Jennifer Kemp, Jonas Fløde, Kate F, Katie N Benitez, Kendra Murphy, Lisa Dennys, Logan Wall, Louise Lomas, Melissa Nance, Nicola Owen, Rebecka Johansson, Sam Morris, Sarah Hannah Morris. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

How KW Unlearned a Lifetime of Wrong Labels After Identifying as AuDHD

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes KW Raney, a therapist, creative, and podcast host who identified as AuDHD in adulthood after years of misdiagnosis, burnout, and self-blame. As a child, KW was labelled with oppositional defiant disorder and grew up believing he was difficult, lazy, and broken. But decades later, recognition of ADHD, and later Autism, helped him reframe the struggles that had followed him since childhood. Together, Angela and KW explore the cost of wrong labels, Autistic burnout, meltdowns mistaken for behavioural problems, sensory overwhelm, masking through work and education, and the long process of learning how to accommodate yourself instead of fighting yourself. 🪑 Attendees Chair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocate Guest: KW Raney — Therapist, creative, and AuDHD advocate You: The Listener! 🗒️ Meeting Agenda * Opening remarks from the Chair  * Member introduction: Misdiagnosis, masking, ADHD discovery and later Autism recognition * Discussion: ODD labels and childhood misunderstanding * Burnout, depression, and reframing the past * Meltdowns, sensory overwhelm, and self-accommodation * Music, animals, and nervous system regulation * Trusting your own internal compass * Key learnings * Club announcements 🧾 Minutes from the Meeting 1️⃣ Opening Remarks Angela introduces KW Raney, who reflects on how years of wrong labels shaped his identity, and how discovering he was AuDHD helped everything begin to make sense. 2️⃣ Member Introduction: KW’s Story KW was diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder as a child, a label that framed his distress and overwhelm as bad behaviour rather than unmet needs. Despite academic success, he carried deep feelings of failure and self-blame into adulthood. It was only later, through recognising ADHD and then Autism, that he began to understand the lifelong patterns beneath those experiences. 3️⃣ Discussion Highlights * ODD label: Childhood distress framed as defiance instead of neurodivergence * Hidden struggle: Good grades masking internal overwhelm * Adult ADHD recognition: A workplace conversation changed the lens * Autism realisation: Later patterns are becoming clear through a new framework * Burnout reframe: Depression and suicidality viewed differently in hindsight * Meltdowns misunderstood: Pressure-valve overload mistaken for behaviour problems * Self-accommodation: Learning to support needs instead of suppressing them * Animal regulation: Comfort, pressure input, and nervous system calm * Music as lifeline: Emotional release, identity, and connection * Creative return: Rebuilding expression after burnout * Inner compass: Learning to trust yourself over old labels 4️⃣ Key Learnings * Wrong labels can shape identity for decades. * Achievement does not cancel out struggle. * Burnout is often misunderstood when neurodivergence is unseen. * Meltdowns are overwhelm, not moral failure. * Self-accommodation can be life-changing. * Healing often begins when you trust your own experience. 📌 Notice Board * https://substack.com/@mraskmore [https://substack.com/@mraskmore/posts?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page] * https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203579170 [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203579170] 📣 Club Announcements 🎧 The Late Diagnosis Club is available on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0TXhqtffSfmJrGm5zHANCQ?si=90e3cdf219fe43eb], Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-late-diagnosis-club/id1847627224], and all major platforms. 💬 Join our online meetups and community at latediagnosis.club [https://latediagnosis.club/]. 📌 Check the LDC Notice Board [https://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/t/noticeboard] for Member Contributions 💜 There is a small charge — but no one is turned away for lack of funds. 🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com [http://autisticcultureplus.com/] 🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com [http://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/] 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast [https://www.instagram.com/autisticculturepodcast] 🎙️ Executive Producers: Amy Burns, Anamaria B Call, Andrew Banner, Anna Goodson, Ashley Apelzin, Audrea Volker, Ben Coulson, Brian Churcek, Cappy Hamper, Carley Biblin, Charlene Deva, Chloe Cross, Clay Duhigg, Clayton Oliver, Danny Dunn, Daria Brown, David Garrido, Emily Burgess, Eric Crane, Erik Stenerud, Fiona Baker, Grace Norman, Helen Shaddock, Jaimie Collins, Jason Killian, Jen Unruh, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Tretter, Kathie Watson-Gray, Kenneth Knowles, Kira Cotter, Kristine Lang, Kyle Raney, Llew P Williams, Laura Alvarado, Laura De Vito, Laura Provonsha, Lily George, Nelly Darmi, Nigel Rogers, Rachel Miller, Tim Scott, Tyler Kunz, Victoria Steed, Yanina Wood. 🎧 Producers: AJ Knight, Bobby Simon, Da Kovac, Eleanor Collins, Emily Griffiths, Hannah Hughes, Jennifer Kemp, Jonas Fløde, Kate F, Katie N Benitez, Kendra Murphy, Lisa Dennys, Logan Wall, Louise Lomas, Melissa Nance, Nicola Owen, Rebecka Johansson, Sam Morris, Sarah Hannah Morris. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

How Sha’mya Was Diagnosed as Autistic as a Child But Didn’t Find Out Until High School

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Sha’mya Jones, a graphic designer and entrepreneur who was diagnosed as Autistic in early childhood — but didn’t learn about it until she was a teenager. Sha’mya shares what it was like to grow up knowing she was different but not understanding why, navigating school, relationships, and identity without the language to describe her experience. From early academic success to social challenges and bullying, her story reflects the complexity of being both supported and left in the dark. Together, Angela and Sha’mya explore masking, college burnout, creative identity, and what it means to build a life and business that reflects who you truly are. 🪑 Attendees Chair: Dr Angela Kingdon — Author, community-builder, and Autistic advocate Guest: Sha’mya Jones — graphic designer, entrepreneur, and Autistic self-advocate You: The Listener! 🗒️ Meeting Agenda * Opening remarks from the Chair * Member introduction: Early diagnosis, late awareness * Discussion: Childhood differences and school experiences * IEP meeting and discovering her diagnosis * Masking, bullying, and social challenges * College life, burnout, and independence * Art, identity, and creative expression * Entrepreneurship and neurodivergent design * Representation and visibility 🧾 Minutes from the Meeting 1️⃣ Opening Remarks Angela introduces Sha’mya Jones, a graphic designer and entrepreneur whose work centres on neurodivergent and underrepresented communities, particularly entrepreneurs of colour. 2️⃣ Member Introduction: Sha’mya’s Story Sha'mya was diagnosed as Autistic as a toddler, but her diagnosis was not shared with her until she was in high school during an IEP meeting. Growing up, she sensed she was different, often finishing work early, helping classmates, and connecting more easily with teachers than peers. Despite having accommodations, she navigated childhood without the language to understand her experiences. 3️⃣ Discussion Highlights * Early diagnosis, hidden identity: Diagnosed in early childhood but not told until high school * Feeling different: Awareness of being out of step with peers from a young age * Teacher connection: Easier relationships with adults than classmates * IEP moment: Learning about her diagnosis during a school meeting * Masking and bullying: Navigating teasing, social confusion, and self-protection * Curiosity misunderstood: Being perceived as rude for asking direct questions * College burnout: Over-involvement, pandemic disruption, and exhaustion * Creative identity: Art as expression and pathway to career * Entrepreneurship: Building a business centred on neurodivergent clients * Representation: Highlighting Autistic women and people of colour 4️⃣ Key Learnings * Being diagnosed early does not guarantee understanding or support. * Without language, differences can lead to confusion and self-doubt. * Masking and social challenges often emerge more strongly over time. * Creative expression can provide clarity and identity. * Representation matters — especially for marginalised Autistic voices. * Self-understanding is an ongoing process, not a single moment. 📌 Notice Board * Sha’mya’s LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sha-mya-jones-027a38282/] * Prisma kind Design Newsletter [https://prismakind-design.myflodesk.com/vsxljjb9e0] * Prisma Kind Design Website [https://frequent-pyroraptor-ac2.notion.site/Welcome-to-Prisma-Kind-Design-26f136a46bb080caa732cbff4d596dde] * Ko-Fi (for tipping) [https://ko-fi.com/prismakinddesign] * Brand Check-In Survey [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdHa2u6wZ8hIPiSWQkxnxQF2JOz13nDAncCYGoM8TgCiLrhuA/viewform?usp=header] * Free Brand Clarity Checklist  [https://prismakind-design.myflodesk.com/brand-clarity-checklist] * Brand Calm-Down Kit (paid audit and reset) [https://frequent-pyroraptor-ac2.notion.site/Brand-Calm-Down-Kit-Sales-Page-340136a46bb080c1b4baf64269839651] * Signature 2-tiered Brand Package (currently looking to book 3-4 beta clients to test and improve her offer)  [https://frequent-pyroraptor-ac2.notion.site/Welcome-to-Prisma-Kind-Design-26f136a46bb080caa732cbff4d596dde] 📣 Club Announcements 🎧 The Late Diagnosis Club is available on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0TXhqtffSfmJrGm5zHANCQ?si=90e3cdf219fe43eb], Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-late-diagnosis-club/id1847627224], and all major platforms. 💬 Join our online meetups and community at latediagnosis.club [https://latediagnosis.club/]. 📌 Check the LDC Notice Board [https://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/t/noticeboard] for Member Contributions 💜 There is a small charge — but no one is turned away for lack of funds. 🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com [http://autisticcultureplus.com/] 🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcast.com [http://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/] 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast [https://www.instagram.com/autisticculturepodcast] 🎙️ Executive Producers: Amy Burns, Anamaria B Call, Andrew Banner, Anna Goodson, Ashley Apelzin, Audrea Volker, Ben Coulson, Brian Churcek, Cappy Hamper, Carley Biblin, Charlene Deva, Chloe Cross, Clay Duhigg, Clayton Oliver, Danny Dunn, Daria Brown, David Garrido, Emily Burgess, Eric Crane, Erik Stenerud, Fiona Baker, Grace Norman, Helen Shaddock, Jaimie Collins, Jason Killian, Jen Unruh, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Tretter, Kathie Watson-Gray, Kenneth Knowles, Kira Cotter, Kristine Lang, Kyle Raney, Llew P Williams, Laura Alvarado, Laura De Vito, Laura Provonsha, Lily George, Nelly Darmi, Nigel Rogers, Rachel Miller, Tim Scott, Tyler Kunz, Victoria Steed, Yanina Wood. 🎧 Producers: AJ Knight, Bobby Simon, Da Kovac, Eleanor Collins, Emily Griffiths, Hannah Hughes, Jennifer Kemp, Jonas Fløde, Kate F, Katie N Benitez, Kendra Murphy, Lisa Dennys, Logan Wall, Louise Lomas, Melissa Nance, Nicola Owen, Rebecka Johansson, Sam Morris, Sarah Hannah Morris. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
