I grew up thinking I was weird, broken, or just born on the wrong planet because I didn’t know I was Autistic. We have the science now. It no longer needs to be this way. We can embrace a neurodiverse world.
My mission is to encourage the notion that GREAT MINDS THINK DIFFERENTLY, not despite our differences, but because of them.
“Great minds think differently.”

Here's How TO Get Your Copy of Am I Actually Autistic?
Am I Actually Autistic? is your guide to processing the identity shock of a late-in-life autism discovery and unmasking in a world that never saw you clearly. It’s not just a book—it’s a mirror, a toolkit, and a cultural touchstone for late-diagnosed or self-identified adults navigating the aftermath of realization.
Written by Dr. Angela Kingdon, a late-diagnosed Autistic woman and host of The Autistic Culture Podcast, this guide blends practical tools with personal insight to walk you through what happens after you suspect—or confirm—you’re Autistic. No gatekeeping. No pathologizing. No puzzle pieces.
Inside, you’ll find:
A clear, step-by-step self-identification process based on rigorous psychometric tools
Cultural insight that reframes autism from disorder to identity
Validation for those who’ve masked for decades and still wonder, Do I really count?
A compassionate deep dive into unmasking, imposter syndrome, and Autistic burnout
Joyful exploration of Autistic traits, strengths, and community
Whether you're newly questioning, quietly self-diagnosed, or formally identified but still reeling, this book will help you move from what if? to hell yes—on your own terms.
