I didn’t really care when I got my diagnosis. It was what it was, and I lived with it. I did a huge autism workbook with a family friend. It didn’t really matter. But recently I’ve become aware of how ashamed I am. I always feel like the child nobody ever wanted to have. The sob story on Britain’s got talent. The problem child.
And I don’t know how to accept it when it’s all in media. I don’t know how to accept it while people still say I’m sorry to my mum if she says something.
Has anyone else experienced this?
2018 when diagnosed I was open about it to all. But reactions at work and with some friends made me ashamed of having it.
We moved due to my husbands work and I haven't told anyone because I don't want to go through that again.
Now I feel more peace personally about it. But have still decided thus far not to share as I don't trust people.
Wise words, from a wise JLyn.
