Nota Bene: We want you to get our book, but it is not available yet to the general public. We are not promoting our book on Amazon though you will see it there listed at a ridiculous price. Please don't buy it there! It is there only because that's where everyone searches for books and it takes you here because we want to incentivize you to be a part of our Oligarch-free book launch. Current paying supporters of Autistic Culture Podcast can get their copy here.
What's the Book About & Why Should You Get it?
Designed specifically for adults seeking clarity about autism, this definitive resource offers an accurate, affirming, and empowering self-identification process. Combining rigorous assessments, expert insights, and lived experiences, the book helps readers navigate the complexities of self-diagnosis, formal assessment, and integrating an autistic identity.
Angela Kingdon, a late-diagnosed Autistic adult, and Matt Lowry, an Actually Autistic Licensed Psychological Practitioner, demystify the diagnostic journey by breaking it down into accessible, compassionate steps.
Whether you're just beginning to wonder about your Autistic traits, have long suspected your neurodivergence, have already self-diagnosed, or even if you've been diagnosed professionally but struggle with imposter syndrome, this guide provides the clarity, confidence, and community you need to embrace your true self.
This is more than a book—it’s your gateway to empowered self-identification, deeper self-understanding, and lifelong connection.
Unlock your authentic self with this essential guide from The Autistic Culture Podcast by Dr. Angela Kingdon and Matt Lowry, LPP.
The Book is NOT for sale to the general Public, Yet! - But there is a Way You Can Get it!
We believe knowledge and community should be accessible, authentic, and supportive—not controlled by corporate goons. We believe writers, artists, and content creators should "own their lists" and so, does the Substack creator platform. They are the only platform not owned by a billionaire. Everything on our page, including articles, videos, and our podcast, is owned by us.
Almost everything we put on our Substack page is free, but you have the opportunity to make a financial contribution to keeping it that way. If you do that, we will give you some bonuses including this book. When you pay to support our work, Substack keeps about a tenth of what Amazon would keep from a book purchase. And, best of all, we get your contact information, so if we make a change or get new information, we can let you know. Amazon, on the other hand, keeps your contact info and then tries to sell you a toothpaste subscription.
Breaking up with Amazon is hard, though. I'm sure you know that. Neither of us have succeeded completely, yet. They make everything so easy - like selling a self-published book! We want to show the community that it's possible to succeed as an author without Amazon.
Wait, IS IT??? 🤞🏽
