In this deeply personal episode of Rebelling, host Amy Knott Parrish interviews Kelly Hambly, a 58 year old writer who was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child. Kelly shares what it's like being at the beginning of another neurodivergent diagnosis story. Episode 2 Transcript

In this conversation with 28-year-old writer and interdisciplinary artist Kelly Shannon, we dig into the complex landscape of identity, burnout, and diagnosis. We talk about policing your own intensity, contradicting the narrative of exhaustion, how the toll of performing normal led her to seek answers, and that weird liminal space you're in just before and just after realizing you're neurodivergent.
​
We also take an unexpected detour into the Gothic — yes, the literary genre — and how its themes strangely mirror the diagnosis experience. As an autoethnographer, Kelly has used her research skills to dig deep into her own story, uncovering exactly why seeking a diagnosis wasn’t just validating — it was necessary. Episode 3 Transcript
