At 28 years old, Joel was navigating life, career, and relationships in bustling London—unaware that the challenges he’d faced with communication since childhood had a name: Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). In this powerful episode of The Talking DLD Podcast, Joel shares what it was like to be diagnosed as an adult, how it reshaped his understanding of himself, and why he’s now passionate about breaking the silence around DLD.
With honesty, warmth, and insight, Joel walks us through the years before his diagnosis, the moment everything clicked, and how it feels to finally have answers. You won’t want to miss this deeply personal conversation as Joel explains how having the diagnosis has changed his life.
