I'm Matt Kandik.
Welcome to My Autistic World
Diagnosed at 42, I spent decades living life in survival mode without a map that matched my mind. Now, I'm using that experience to help others reclaim their energy, rediscover who they are, and redesign daily life to actually fit their neurotype.
​
Whether you're newly diagnosed, self-identifying, or supporting someone autistic, you're not alone and it's not too late. This space was built for you.
​
Through honest podcast storytelling, trauma-informed coaching, and community support, I offer real world strategies and validation for autistic adults navigating burnout, identity shifts, accommodations, and self-advocacy.
​
This is about more than awareness. It's about empowerment, belonging, and living life on your own terms. You don't have to figure this out alone.
