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.
Our founder is an autistic speech pathologist and autism assessor. As someone who has gone through the process of self-identification followed by formal identification, Dasha understands the challenges and benefits of this journey.
We're here to help individuals self-identify as autistic by providing resources and guidance to better understand themselves and their experiences. We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for all individuals seeking to better understand themselves and their neurodivergent identity. We hope you find our free resources helpful and empowering, and we are here to support you on your journey of self-discovery.

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. This 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.
