MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE

NAMI — National Alliance on Mental Illness

NAMI can be a very helpful resource for autistic individuals who may also experience co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, or other mental health challenges.

Autism itself is not a mental illness. Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference. However, autistic individuals can still experience mental health conditions alongside autism, and organizations like NAMI may provide support, education, advocacy, and community resources that can help.
