@thistooshallpass77: After being asked by a physician to get assessed for autism a year ago, I turned to TikTok to learn more about it. I didn’t think it was possible because I didn’t relate to what I had been taught was autism. Instead, I found creators who where high functioning autistic women, and their experiences matched my own. I started to believe that I was in fact, autistic. My suspicions were confirmed when I was officially diagnosed only a few days ago. I wanted to be vulnerable and say thank you to the autistic community for being with me on this journey. This is me!!!! #austism #highfunctioningautism #audhd #femaleautism #latediagnosedautistic

“Why do you need a label” because I deserved to know why living is so much harder for me than everyone else

My exact reaction! 🥺 My psychiatrist was so sweet - while I was crying he said - you’ve done so well to survive in a world that wasn’t created for you. It made me cry more 😭😭 to finally be seen 💕💕

I heard someone once say “It’s like meeting your real self. You finally took those extra puzzle pieces and put them in the right place.” 😭

I believe autism is an understanding of a higher frequency. It can be extreme and we don’t quite grasp that spectrum of it yet. I’ve always known things that made me seem insane to others. I understand it now and we’ll all understand it in the future 🖤

Ugh “High functioning” is such a misnomer…high functioning bc we don’t drain society as much. Doesn’t mean we are functioning well. I’m not “woke” but many “woke” people would say the term borders on ableism…

past choices, memories and emotions make much more sense all of a sudden when you discover that you're on the spectrum

Congratulations ❤️✨ I’m trying to save up money for testing and diagnosing. It’s definitely a journey to reach that point.

finding out there was never something wrong with me, I was just different, changed so much for me. (And then a year later when I was ready to tell people about it, my best friends made me a cake)
