@thepeoplescornerr: Nathaniel reflects on what it was like growing up neurodivergent. He often felt out of place, trying hard to fit in but struggling to feel understood. Over time, that led him to hide parts of himself and shut down, afraid of how people might react to his condition. Nathaniel also grew up without much of a relationship with his dad, and he believes that impacted the confidence-building he needed as a child with autism. But as he’s gotten older, his perspective has shifted. He’s realised there’s still so much he’s capable of and he no longer wants to let his condition stop him from showing up as his full self. #autim #neurodivergent #life #stories
