WHEN YOU LEARN YOU'RE ACTUALLY AUTISTIC, EVERYTHING CHANGES.

Am I Actually Autistic? is the essential guide for late-identified or self-diagnosed adults navigating the identity shock of autism discovery. Written by Dr. Angela Kingdon, a late-diagnosed Autistic woman and host of The Autistic Culture Podcast, this affirming resource helps readers recognize Autistic traits, understand masking and impostor syndrome, and reclaim their identity with confidence. Combining step-by-step tools, original research, and cultural insight, the book reframes autism from disorder to identity. Whether you’re newly questioning or already self-identified, this guide offers clarity, validation, and joy for those ready to embrace who they’ve always been.

Autistic Joy Starts Here.

A powerful, ground-breaking collection of writing by late-discovered Autistic adults, Neurodivergent Narratives captures a cultural moment in real time. At a time when autism is debated on political stages, misunderstood in media narratives, and sensationalised through celebrity disclosures, this anthology brings the conversation back to where it belongs: the lived experience of #ActuallyAutistic adults.

Across fiction, memoir, poetry, and micro-stories, these writers illuminate what it means to grow up unseen, before the diagnostic criteria widened, before the language for our lives existed. Their voices reclaim the history that was never recorded. Their stories challenge the stereotypes still shaping public perception. Together, they form an uncompromising, vivid portrait of Autistic life beyond the myths.

From sensory worlds to shattered assumptions, from moral clarity to the quiet devastation of being misunderstood, these pieces reveal the interior landscapes of a community long pushed to the margins. This collection answers the call raised by Dr Devon Price in Unmasking Autism and Pete Wharmby in What I Want to Talk About and Untypical. We are unmasked and finally telling our stories on our own terms.

Our stories offer connection, catharsis, and a new cultural record for Autistic readers and a challenge to rethink everything for those who are not. This is the missing archive of the Lost Generation.

Welcome Back to Yourself

Write Where You Belong is a therapeutic writing journal for Autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent adults navigating identity shock, late discovery or diagnosis, burnout, and life reorientation. Created as a project of the Autistic Culture Institute, this journal is built from the Neurodivergent Narratives therapeutic writing framework and offers structured, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming writing prompts. The focus is not motivation or positivity, but clarity: using writing to process disrupted self-concepts, reframe past experiences, regulate an overwhelmed nervous system, and rebuild a sustainable sense of belonging. Topics include masking and unmasking, autistic burnout, workplace stress, grief for past selves, relational changes, boundaries, and the emotional aftermath of realizing that long-held narratives of failure were misinterpretations of neurodivergence.

The prompts were developed by Angela Kingdon, PhD (Communication), MSc (Psychology), a late-discovered Autistic researcher, writer, and cultural critic with more than 30 years of experience ghostwriting nonfiction books and memoirs. Her work centers on how writing functions as a tool for sense-making when identity collapses and must be rebuilt. Write Where You Belong is suitable for personal reflection, therapeutic use, coaching, and peer groups, and is especially relevant for readers seeking writing prompts, therapeutic journaling for newly identifying Autistic and ADHD adults, burnout recovery tools, and neurodivergent-affirming mental health resources that respect autonomy, capacity limits, and lived experience.

Human Writing in the Age of AI

Write Like a Human is a clear-eyed guide to publishing with AI without surrendering judgment, voice, or meaning.

Machines can generate fluent text at scale. What they cannot generate is responsibility for what is said, why it is said, or who it is meant to serve. As large language models become embedded in everyday publishing, from emails and essays to newsletters and public thought leadership, the real risk is not that humans will stop writing. It is that writing will become interchangeable, unmoored from authorship, and easy to ignore.

This book argues for a practical ethics of human authorship in an AI-saturated culture. It is not an anti-technology manifesto and it is not a prompt manual. Instead, it offers a framework for using AI in service of serious writing without allowing it to flatten voice, distort intent, or replace editorial judgment. It examines what AI can accelerate, what it cannot decide, and where responsibility must remain human. Choosing what matters, what is ready to publish, and what a writer is willing to stand behind in public.

Write Like a Human is written for writers, founders, executives, and public thinkers who want to publish consistently and thoughtfully, especially through newsletters and other ongoing bodies of work. It offers principles, boundaries, and working practices for writing with AI rather than being written by it.

In a culture where text is abundant and attention is scarce, the future of writing will not belong to those who produce the most words. It will belong to those who earn trust over time. This book shows how to do that deliberately, responsibly, and in public.

Are You Getting Serious About Substack?

As newsletters replace books, blogs, and media columns as the primary way ideas circulate, many writers find themselves publishing more often but thinking less clearly about what their work is for, who it serves, and how it fits into their lives. The result is noise, burnout, or a newsletter that exists without doing much of anything. This book argues that successful Substack publications do not come from volume or clever tactics, but from disciplined decisions made before the writing begins.

Drawing on decades of experience working with authors, founders, and public thinkers, Serious About Substack introduces the SIGNALS method, a step-by-step approach to clarifying outcome, identifying an ideal reader, choosing the right platform, structuring ideas, editing with purpose, setting a sustainable cadence, and expanding reach without flattening the work. The emphasis throughout is on responsibility, clarity, and consistency rather than speed or scale.

This book is for writers who want their ideas to travel because they are useful, recognizable, and worth sharing. It is for people who take their thinking seriously and want a Substack newsletter that functions as more than a habit or a side project. In a crowded publishing landscape, the work that lasts is the work that is designed to mean something. This book shows how to build that kind of publication, deliberately and in public.
