Autistic Atlas

Neurodiversity-affirming support for autistic people, families, and the clinicians who walk alongside them.

Clear, kind, practical information about autism, sensory needs, burnout and everyday life, from a psychotherapist who believes understanding works better than assumptions.

Upcoming research

How age at autism diagnosis shapes mental health and potential trauma in autistic adults

Many autistic people are not diagnosed until adulthood. Kim’s upcoming research will explore how the age at diagnosis may relate to mental health and experiences of trauma later in life, to help shape better support for autistic people at every age.

Are you autistic, or do you know someone who might want to be part of the research? Let’s connect here!

Leave your name and email and we’ll let you know when the research opens and how to take part. Signing up doesn’t commit you to anything, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
