I Think I'm Autistic, Now What?

Have you been reading about autistic traits and wondering if you're autistic? Are you asking yourself; "am I autistic?" or "I might be autistic, now what?" I'm, Brett, the AuDHD Boss. In this video I'll share some credible free and paid resources that can guide you through what to do if you're an adult who thinks they might be autistic.

With over 10 years of leadership experience and personal insights as an autistic leader with ADHD, I take a strength-based approach to navigating life and work as a neurodivergent individual and I have a formal diagnosis of ADHD and autism (ASD). For my late diagnosis as an adult, these are the resources I use every day to better understand my autism and ADHD.

We'll cover:
❓Defining autism and understanding its spectrum
❓The validity of self-diagnosis vs. formal diagnosis
❓Recommended resources, including Dr. Megan Neff's website and tools like Embrace Autism
❓Accessible self-assessment tests and books like Unmasking Autism by Dr. Devon Price
❓Workplace accommodations and tools like JAN (Job Accommodation Network)
❓Whether you're self-reflecting or seeking clarity on the diagnosis process, this video offers actionable advice, practical tools, and resources to help you thrive.
