The Autistic Self-Discovery Process
There are many different pathways to discovering that you're autistic.
Some choose to go directly to formal identification (also known as 'diagnosis'), while others choose to research it first and do some self-reflection prior to a formal assessment, while others bypass formal assessment/identification all together. This could be due to personal choice, or because of barriers in formal assessment, such as cost and availability.
While You Wonder is here to help you on your autistic self-discovery process and can help you self-identify as autistic, or help you prepare for formal identification.
