Autism Spectrum of Being didn’t begin with a theory. It began with a feeling — that the language around autism still wasn’t enough.
The terms keep changing: ASD, ASC… but the deeper experience remains hard to capture. A half-joke — “What’s next? ASB?” — became something real. Autism Spectrum of Being. Not a disorder. Not a condition. A way of being.
ASB isn’t about any one person.
It’s not owned, branded, or led.
It’s an idea — and a space — shaped by many lives.
It exists to hold the full spectrum of autistic experience:
From high support needs to no formal diagnosis.
From those who speak with words to those who communicate differently.
Across all genders, all ages, all intersections.
With or without ADHD. With or without clarity.
ASB doesn’t seek to define autism.
It seeks to describe what it can feel like — truthfully, humanly, and without shame.
This is not a movement. It’s not a model.
It’s a mirror — for anyone who sees themselves and says:
“That’s me. I’ve always been like this.”
ASB is shaped and maintained by a late-diagnosed autistic adult with ADHD. This is one way of being — not the only one.
