THE NEW MODEL IS SO YOU??? THIS IS INSANE??

🤠

I think its for comfort. Thinking about what could have been. And a sort of grief. Being a child and teenager with autism is a soul crushing experience. And its comforting to imagine that if you had help, it would have been easier. Sadly having a diagnosis does not automatically mean you get help.

That said as someone who was diagnosed early. Getting help early is crucial to prevent burnout, depression and anexity. But i wish people would stop thinking that being diagnosed early removes these things. It does not. Its part of your disability. I also experienced those things.

For example "When i was a kid i felt lonely and i had no friends, i felt like an alien." this is inherently autistic and a symptom of said diagnosis. Its the lived experience.

Its a comfort show of mine.

Aww big hugs!!

My new office chair should arrive in a week or two and im very grateful to chat for buying me an ac, since i cant really regulate heat like a normal person.
