@whileyouwonder: One of the top questions I get! Can’t wait to hear your experiences in the comments! 💛🙏✨ #autism #neurodivergent #selfidentification #autismassessor
I don’t feel taken seriously as self diagnosed. I don’t tell anyone but it’s clear now at 39. Too many people think everyone is just looking for attention. It’s frustrating. But wow life explained.

I have not been formally diagnosed with autism, however, I have done enough research to know that I am. I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life.

I would love access to therapists who know autism. I think that’s why I’ll eventually get a diagnosis. I cried my way through 5 books about autism because my whole childhood and beyond was described😭

1) When I realized that I’m stimming, it blew my mind. I thought it’s something everyone does and then I started noticing that other are standing/sitting still. I thought first time I could be

I thought I was just highly sensitive and weird until my son got diagnosed. I find so much similarities in traits so I started questioning if I am.

I’m figuring out that I’m AuDHD. I have been formally diagnosed with ADHD but the process for a formal evaluation for Autism is unlikely to be completed by me.

Question. Do autistic people struggle with emotional empathy? Like actually being able to imagine and feel what the other person is feeling, say if you hurt them

I got diagnosed days before my 33 birthday… suddenly a lot of my experiences throughout my life make so much sense. I feel so heard, so seen, so validated and whole.

Perhaps it might be worth making a video on the risks of getting diagnosed as a neurodiverse person right now considering the direction America is currently taking.

I did this the other day- really high anxiety in a meeting and thought to myself "I think stimming could help rn..." so I allowed myself (in subtle way that I was comfortable with in the enviro).

Just realizing this, just by myself. Already it’s made me realize I don’t have to keep trying to be like other people. There’s nothing wrong with me. ❤️

Figuring out that I'm autistic has helped the communication in my marriage. My husband is neurotypical, and now it's easier to talk and understand each other.

I went almost 50 years not understanding why I felt so different and why I never felt like I fit in anywhere. After raising 4 kids on the spectrum and 6 out of 9 grandkids on the spectrum, pieces...

Realizing that the voice dialogue in my brain is a stim to regulate, and not anxiety based has helped me embrace social situations better.

Your videos are so validating and supportive as I go through this process of what it means to be a high masking, autistic, ADHD woman. Thank you!!

Once I figured out I’m autistic my life changed in the best way, once I started full believing it. Knowing that I’m a bottom-up thinker and that I need social and sensory rest has been lifechanging.

Thank you for normalising terms like discovery and self discovery…not pathologising. It is indeed about discovering an essential truth about oneself

being formally diagnosed changed my entire life. I feel like there is a huge difference, mostly due to imposter syndrome... 🤣
