Chemical Imbalance

Here is an attempt at a great big list of self-diagnosis resources for people who think they might be autistic and want to know more. There are probably others, but hopefully this’ll be helpful to someone.

Wherever possible, I have tried to link to works by autistic people. This is because autistic people know how autism works much better than any allistic person can. So, if you’re wondering why so much of the list is blog posts instead of medical articles, that’s why. I do have some medical articles, which you can use at your discretion.

EDIT 07/2020: this post is now 6 years old, and some of the old links were out of date. I’ve removed broken ones, but I’ve not replaced them with anything, and more links may break in the future, so just be aware of that when clicking through.

I recommend everyone watch this movie. It's titled Farha (2022) and it's available on Netflix.

Chickasaw poet Linda Hogan writes in her book Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World: “Suddenly, all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.”1
