Hey all,
so basically I was curious if there are any people who identify on the autism spectrum who dealt with abuse or being in a toxic environment prior to being diagnosed as autistic, and if so could you please share your stories about realizing you are autistic and your whole journey with that? I ask because I’m someone who is 90+ percent sure I am autistic, but I was abused for 18+ years, without having any clue I might be autistic, and as such feel like my experiences or like how I see my autism is very different from other autistic peoples experiences/how they view it, and I was hoping to see if there might be other people with a similar experience and if so, what was it like for you?
Thanks, Princesspagan
