Self-Care for Autistic People by Dr. Megan Anna Neff

As you might see from this list, I find Dr. Neff to be an invaluable resource. As a late diagnosed AuDHD psychologist, she offers so much education and insight from the perspective of being deeply connected to the experience. This is the first of several resources she offers that I highly recommend.
