Kyriakos Gold

Kyriakos Gold, an autistic, queer Greek Australian social entrepreneur and founder of Just Gold, shares his empowering journey of unmasking after receiving an autism diagnosis in midlife. He discusses the emotional rollercoaster of revisiting past experiences and the liberating shift from shame to self-kindness. Kyriakos emphasizes rebuilding life around personal needs rather than societal expectations, creating a sensory-friendly environment, and using practical routines to foster well-being, all while advocating for neurodiversity and inclusion.
