If you're just beginning to explore the possibility that you may be autistic or otherwise neurodivergent, Embrace Autism is one of the resources we often recommend as a starting point.
Their website offers a collection of well-known autism self-assessments, including the AQ, RAADS-R, and CAT-Q, along with clear explanations to help you better understand what your results may mean. For those considering a formal assessment, they also offer professional diagnostic services conducted by licensed autistic psychologists and are available internationally.
Whether you're simply curious, seeking language for your experiences, or exploring a formal diagnosis, Embrace Autism provides accessible information that can help you decide what next steps, if any, feel right for you.
The Compassion Collective supports both self-identification and formal diagnosis. We believe each person's journey is unique, and there is no single "right" path to understanding yourself.
