Hello
I was diagnosed late, age 32 (now 33) and it has been... interesting.
I am trying to feel more positive about my identity and focus on my strengths. I would like to build for myself, a community of others who have similar experiences, because I feel isolated (particularly during lockdown) and defective, very often. I think I have to do some work to put down internalised ableism and masking and pick up who I really am. Its a bit disheartening to only hear fear and worry when I look online for support.
Are you an autistic adult who has come to terms with their identity and feels positive and strong sometimes? Would you be interested in chatting? Perhaps sending some emails? Or whatever you’re comfortable with - this is my first post, if DM’s are a feature on this forum, thats cool too.
:)
