Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate your opinion please. I have had a therapist and GP say I have ASD, but no formal diagnosis. Apparently that's as elusive as matching socks. I've just been on a 3 day research binge and I no longer know which way is up. In your opinion is self- identifying acceptable? I honestly don't know if it would make me a fraud or others would see me as a fraud. All I've ever wanted is to just make sense of myself and find a place where I feel I belong. I would really appreciate your thoughts, right now I have too many of my own. Thank you
I hve had the autism diagnosis since 2013 (i was 13 at the time). In 2016 I finally accepted that i have this disabilitly and ive got it for life so instead of keeping it a secret i opened up about it and it was the best thing i have ever done. I now have a page on facebook called Autism And Me and i upload about my life and my diagnosis to help and raise awareness. Im 20 now and it was the best thing i have ever done.
REMEMBER THIS: Only be open and honest about it if you feel like it is the right thing to do for you or belive it could help you
Everyone is different in their own unique way and the hardest part is to embrace your flaw which turns out autism my superpower !!!
i jop this helps you out !!!
Cool - it takes real inner-strength to be open, true and honest. You self-awareness will really help you through life - especially to avoid the stress-inducing parts.
