When the Diagnosis Isn’t Enough: A Post-Diagnosis Guide for the Autistic Soul

This affirming, practical guide was written for late-diagnosed and self-identified autistic adults (especially women and young adults) who are trying to make sense of life after autism becomes part of their story.

Inside, you’ll find:

• What autism actually is (and isn’t)

• Practical tools for unmasking, setting boundaries, and building sensory-friendly routines

• Encouraging journal prompts, reflection tools, and real-life strategies for self-advocacy

Whether you’ve just received your diagnosis or are navigating the emotional aftermath of self-discovery, this book will walk with you as you unlearn shame, embrace your needs, and build a life that works with your brain.

You are not broken. You were just waiting for the right guide
