Late Identified Autistics -

You’ve spent a lifetime adapting. Now it’s time to reconnect.

For autistic adults who learned their truth later in life — and are ready to rebuild life on their own terms.

Maybe you discovered you were autistic years ago — but only now have the space to feel it.

Maybe you spent decades performing, masking, and surviving.

Maybe you’re only just beginning to wonder what authenticity even looks like.

This workshop is for you.

It’s a 5-week, autistic-led peer-support coaching group for those who came to this understanding later in life — a place to explore, heal, and start again.

You’ve done the hard part: surviving in a world that didn’t understand you.

Now it’s time to learn what thriving can mean.

What You’ll Get

  • Weekly live sessions on Zoom, led by me—an autistic educator and peer-support coach.

  • Daily group chat for connection and reflection between sessions.

  • A safe space to share your story and be heard—without needing to mask.

  • Practical tools for navigating masking, meltdowns, and daily life as an autistic human.

  • Community—others who are on the same path and finally “get it.”

Participate however you need to. Speak, listen, or simply be present.

There’s no wrong way to belong here.

What Past Participants Say

  • I discovered Mati's group coaching the day after I was formally diagnosed as autistic, and I signed up immediately. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I felt so supported and understood by Mati and all the wonderful people in my group. With that support, I was able to take steps to advocate for myself and my needs in ways that I probably wouldn’t have done on my own. I’m still in touch with all the group members and so the support and community continues.

  • I know that you have single handedly changed the lives of hundreds if not thousands of autistic people across the globe. Your ability to hold space and induce the reflection we all need to examine our lives and beliefs and grow and change and change things for the better, blows my mind. I am frequently, actively and forever grateful that I stumbled across your website in the early days of my autism diagnosis, lost at sea with nothing to hold onto. This community you’ve given me, this lifeline, this group of people I imagine standing shoulder to shoulder with me in life’s struggles and when I’m advocating for myself, is the single most impactful thing that keeps me going and believing things can and will get better. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart

  • I found Matthew at a time when I was experiencing the worst bout of autistic burnout I’d ever been through. What made my burnout worse was not knowing I was autistic at first. I didn’t even know what burnout was. I just knew that something was wrong and that I no longer had the energy to continue being inauthentic and ruled by other peoples responses. I’d wondered vaguely on and off for about ten years whether I might be autistic, but my burnout last year caused me to finally knuckle down, do some in depth research and face the fact that I am indeed autistic. My next question was “what do I do now?” At that point I found Matthew. He has lived up to his life coaching ethos and more.

My Approach

I’m autistic and disabled.

I know what it means to perform normality just to survive—and the exhaustion that comes with it.

My work is rooted in autistic liberation:

  • Unmasking as a sacred act of returning to yourself.

  • Boundaries as compassion in practice.

  • Regulation as self-respect.

  • Community as co-regulation.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not about fixing you.

It’s about helping you finally understand yourself—and giving you the tools to live in alignment with who you are.

Why Now?

If you’re late identified, you’re probably reading everything you can find—trying to piece yourself together.

That’s normal. But it’s also lonely.

You don’t have to do it alone.

This workshop gives you language, structure, and community—all in one place.

Spots are limited to keep the group small and personal.

If you’re here reading this, that probably means it’s time.

You’ve already done the hardest part—recognising yourself.

Now it’s time to live as who you are.
