I'm Autistic, Now What?

I'm Autistic, Now What? is a YouTube channel run by Meg, a late-diagnosed PDA AuDHD woman from the UK. Meg is one of the most well-known autistic YouTubers out there, for good reason.

She has videos on signs that you might have autism, ADHD, PDA, and/or dyspraxia, as well as signs that you might NOT be neurodivergent in these ways. In addition, her videos on monotropism and masking are excellent introductions to the topics, and her advice videos are always quite thorough. She also has a neurotypical partner and child, which gives her an interesting comparative perspective.

This channel is especially great for people who have just been diagnosed or are questioning their neurotype. The title I'm Autistic, Now What? refers to the all-too-common experience of finally finding out you're autistic — and then being left with no support, just a slap on the back and a "good luck, buddy!" (If that. :)

With her channel, Meg is trying to correct that by making enjoyable content for people figuring out how to live a better autistic life post-diagnosis.

It's clear that Meg puts a lot of time and effort into research, citing her sources, and talking about autism in a charming, relatable, and accurate way.

I recommend her meme compilation videos when you need a good autistic chuckle amidst the world's copious darkness. Also, note that some of her videos have sarcastic titles quoting other people's questionable statements that she is, of course, arguing against.

Meg has a Patreon where she offers access to her Discord server at a very low price, and sometimes she releases merch, like Anti-Social Snail pins and stickers. Overall, her channel is a fun way to engage with the autistic community, learn something, and feel like maybe we're not all totally screwed.
