Hi

I was diagnosed with autism this yearFlushed

I've always new I was different (but never once

Thought I would have the Tag... I call it a tag

Because I don't see my self as different but

Other ppl do Rolling eyes ect if your a woman with kids don't get diagnosed I lost my kids because I have autism

Social services didn't help me just took my life away and left me fighting and trying to understand what was going on

I suffered that bad I went from a size 18 down to a size 10-8

I couldn't eat go out I was punishing my self for being the way I am now I'm scared of people and panic about being out side I have 0 support and suffer form mental health Beacuse of trauma and a rare heart condition called pots...

Sometimes it's best not to no... Who or what you really are
