Autism Post-Diagnosis Resources

These resources were created by the Adult Team at CAAS, with input from neurodivergent adults and staff. They aim to provide inclusive, helpful information based on over 25 years of experience and community insight.

We hope that the resources in this section are helpful for those who want to know about the autism diagnosis process and what it might mean for them.
