Wendela Whitcomb Marsh

Wendela Whitcomb Marsh MA, RSD, (she/her) is an award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and advisory board member of the US Autism Association. She specializes in issues related to late-diagnosed high-masking, autistic adults, who often struggle to find acceptance and support. Her late husband and two of their three children were all late-diagnosed autists. Marsh holds a master’s degree in educational psychology and a Religious Studies Doctorate in pastoral counseling with a specialization in autism. After a career in special education and psychology, Marsh retired and moved with her children to Oregon. She started writing books and found that she loved it. Her books include Recognizing Autism in Women and Girls, and the five-book series, Adulting While Autistic.

Although retired, Wendela Whitcomb Marsh continues to write and speak about autism from a place of experience, wisdom, and unlimited optimism.
