For Autistic Adults

Support for autistic adults, on your terms.

Find practical resources for diagnosis, work, housing, mental health, sensory needs, and community—while keeping your goals and autonomy at the center.

Could I be autistic?

Explore experiences and questions without treating a checklist as a diagnosis.

Seeking an assessment

Compare possible routes and prepare questions before contacting an evaluator.

After diagnosis or self-discovery

Choose what would be useful now; formal diagnosis is not the only route to self-understanding.

Masking, stress, and recovery

Reflect on demands, sensory load, and supports without assuming one explanation fits everyone.

Work and study

Consider access needs, communication preferences, and the questions you want to ask.

Healthcare and daily life

Prepare for appointments, sensory access, communication, and everyday support.

A note about guidance and screening

Screening tools can help you organize questions, but they cannot diagnose autism. Assessment access, cost, coverage, and legal protections vary by location and situation. You can explore identity and low-risk supports at your own pace; decide for yourself whether formal assessment is useful.
