WHO ARE YOU?

The journey back to yourself begins now

If you're a late-identified autistic adult, the relief you felt after finding an explanation for *your entire life* often comes with the idea that now, finally, you can be your real, unmasked, authentic self.

But then you may have realized that you don't have any idea who that might be. You've likely spent so long fitting in that who you are and what you like has long faded away.

This course is your guide to rediscovering you.

After you've completed the five lessons in this fun, self-paced course, you will:

  • Have a clear and detailed understanding of the multifaceted person you are, right now.
  • Know with certainty what you enjoy, the things and people that are likely to bring you happiness, and what's important to you.
  • Create a personal roadmap to guide your decisions as you build your future.

By reacquainting yourself with the person beneath the mask, you'll enjoy the peace of mind, confidence, and flexibility that comes with earned self-knowledge. Use the insights and skills you'll develop through this course to re-build your everyday life into one that's designed for you, by you.

Sound familiar?

These are some of the ways late-identified autistic adults describe living behind their masks.

  • When people ask what I like, I don't have an answer. How do I even know what I like?

  • I know I need a change in my life but I don't know what I want or how to find out.

  • I've been someone else for so long, I don't know where to begin to be myself.

You helped me understand myself. I now know that I am not alone and will never be alone again. It feels so great to be able to understand why. It all makes sense. THANK YOU! I feel better. Today is an epiphany ❤️.

The course was a very good self-awareness tool. Helpful for those not used to reflective learning. Exercises build up gradually so they may not make sense when you first do them but don't worry! All is revealed later as you build upon your work.

A Word From Me To You

Hi. I wanted to share with you what the lessons in this course have done for me because my greatest hope is that they'll do the same or better for you too. I created this course because I've been in your shoes. After learning I'm autistic (I was 42 then), I struggled to "unmask" and live the life I wanted. I'd heard that living authentically after a lifetime of fitting in was the best part about finally learning who I am -- but I couldn't seem to get there. Worse, I couldn't find any resources to guide my way. It felt as if I was the first person to ever wonder how I was supposed to move forward to that better, less stressful life, tailored just for me.

So I did something about it.

Nearly three years of research, interviews, trial and error, and study turned into this course. Each lesson is a blend of traditional techniques, observations from my personal experiences, and input from late-identified autistic adults just like you. I condensed our collective knowledge and lived experience into a series of exercises designed to guide you towards your true self. This resource is here for you to use right now. And when you've completed the course, the insight you've gained will be yours for the rest of your life.

As for me, I revisit the techniques you'll learn in this course regularly as a way to stay on track. I really do live my everyday life using the tasks and tips I've included. Honestly, I couldn't have imagined the life I have now in The Time Before. And I want that for you, too.

Many neurodivergent adults have found our way to living happier, healthier lives in a neurotypical world through strategies and techniques like the ones you'll learn in this course. I hope they change your life for the better as they did mine. 💚
