Autistic creative, making art about how I gaslight myself all the time.
6 is the current highscore!
I'm an autistic who, despite showing autistic traits all my life, wasn't dx'd as an autistic until I was 29, after which I spent many years on forums for autistic ppl learning about what it means to be autistic, and not just clinically, and how much I share with other autistic ppl.
6. Out of chars!
