Late identification comes with grief, relief, and a thousand replays of your past. This is the identity shock no one warned you about. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And this book is here to help you make sense of it all.

Written by Dr. Angela Kingdon, a late-diagnosed Autistic woman and host of "The Autistic Culture Podcast," Am I Autistic? offers a powerful, affirming alternative to clinical gatekeeping. With humor, heart, and razor-sharp insight, Dr. Kingdon walks you through the signs of autism, the experience of identity shock, and the real challenges of impostor syndrome—all from inside the culture.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Clear, affirming steps to recognize and confidently confirm your Autistic identity
• Practical insights on defeating impostor syndrome, recognizing masking behaviors, and understanding co-occurring conditions
