Your Guide To Self-Evaluation And Navigating The Clinical Assessment Process
Most autistic people are likely undiagnosed, unidentified adults. With the increased awareness and the amplified voices of autistic people, many adults who went undiagnosed as a child are now discovering their neurodivergence.
For many, this realization is the first step on a journey toward self-discovery and clarity.
The process of self-evaluation and going through a clinical autism assessment can be challenging. The Autistics Unmasked Research Team has created this guide to accompany you on your journey. We hope you find it helpful during your assessment process and after it.
This guide is mainly directed at adults who think they might be autistic, but it may also serve as a source of information for anyone seeking to learn about autism and better understand autistic people.
You can download the guide for free from the Autistics Unmasked DPD store.

Looking for a mentor/companion who understands you? Email us at info@autisticsumasked.org and ask about being placed with an autistic peer-mentor! (This is a pilot program with limited capacity, please note what we will not be able to fill all requests for a peer-mentor). Our peer-mentors are AU staff members who volunteer their time to talk with mentees about mental health, provide assistance with researching resources and make referrals to personal trusted healthcare professionals! Peer-mentors are placed with mentees taking into consideration the applicants’ interests, racial/ethnic background, religion, gender and sexuality, family dynamic and more to ensure that the pair understand and relate to each other as much as possible!
