Do you think you might be autistic?
Are there barriers to getting a formal 'diagnosis'?
or
Want to prepare for formal assessment?
Self-identification is valid and accepted by the Autistic Community.
WYW offers a Self-Identification Program, resources, and webinars to help you self-identify as autistic.
Dasha is an autistic speech pathologist and autism assessor. Even with that background, figuring out that she was autistic wasn’t straightforward.
​
When she was trying to understand herself, the kind of information she needed, especially around high-masking, non-stereotypical autistic experiences, wasn’t easy to find. That made self-identification much harder than it needed to be.
​
While You Wonder was created to offer what was missing. Clear, grounded resources to help you figure out if you might be autistic, understand your experiences, and start exploring unmasking in a way that actually fits your life.

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.
The Autistic Self-Identification Program
If you mask well, online lists can feel both true and inconclusive. My 5-week program gives you calm, structured guidance to find clarity without gatekeeping or clinical jargon.
You will leave with language for your experiences, a map of how the criteria fit you (or do not), and next-step options you can choose with confidence.
