Is a Late Diagnosis of Autism Worth it?
YES
I am kinder to
myself since
my diagnosis.
I have clarity
for the first time
in my life.
Dear Potential AWE Contributor
You don't need to be a writer to share your diagnosis story
To share your diagnosis story on AWE, you must be a woman (including
gender-diverse people) 18+ with a clinical diagnosis of autism.
Every Story Counts
What led to your formal diagnosis of autism?
