We’re glad you’re here — welcome! This resource guide is both for those who know that they’re neurodivergent (either through medical diagnosis or self-identification; we consider both to be valid, with proper research done). And those who’re now looking at the world from a place of maybe’s and Who am I? questions hanging in the air.

Now, if you’re a bit a lost — here are some options to help you get started 🧭 >

• You’re totally new to do the topic and want to see a few faces talking authentically about their lived experiences or breaking down the research? Head over to Instagram and pick the right accounts, depending on your info processing style, interest & Co. → 🧡 ⋆ INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS (personally, the account of @autisticthrifter was crucial to start feeling less like an imposter and start embracing the — likely possibility of an — autistic identity). If you’re not on Instagram, 🎞️ ⋆ YOUTUBERS & 🎧 ⋆ PODCASTS might be your way to go.

• You’ve done some research and want to go deeper in understanding if “it’s you”? (aka get an external view) It might be time for some more in-depth research and a few self-assessments that will get you thinking and also provide you with a score at the end. We have included a page with the assessment tools used as a standard in the field, focusing on autism (more to come, inputs appreciated). Find it here . . . → 🌐 ⋆ WEBSITES, BLOGS & OVERVIEWS

Receiving a positive score(s) is often the moment when people seek out the assessment of a professional. However, this is not a must and depends on your possibilities and needs.

• You’ve watched some reels & Co. and are craving the guidance-companionship of a neurodivergent mind that you can connect with deeper? Time for a book then . . . (or audiobook or whatever) → 📚 ⋆ BOOKS TO READ (+ KEY TAKEAWAYS)

• You’ve now figured out that you’re (most probably) neurodivergent? You can’t relate to some old friends or are simply seeking more meaningful human connections? People & spaces are out there. Ok, well, not too many — but enough to welcome you. 🫂 ⋆ SUPPORT & SOCIAL GROUPS (plus, if you want to start a group yourself and don’t know where to start and whom to talk to about it — do reach out!)
