Emma, I don’t know how you best take in new info- listen? Read? Something else? If listening is your jam, and if you haven’t yet, I highly suggest checking out a recent Tilt podcast about the dearth of understanding around autism (and neurodiversity in general) in the general mainstream AND in the professional world. I know it will both affirm what you already know, and also...

I too, was a neuro-lurker (online seeker of info, lived experiences, etc that were far more helpful than any DSM could ever be) for quite a while, trying to figure out things for my kids and then for myself. I’ll be following you and your resources here.
