What was the straw that broke the camels back?

For me it was when I started school, started to surface in primary but was especially noticable and affected my daily life during the hell that was secondary school. That led to the ball rolling of me being diagnosed. Before school I was a happy little child, always stuck to my comfort zone and there was very little change. My parents splitting up when I was 13 also proved to be more change than my autistic mind could handle as well.

Horrible ordeal at times but it did lead to me discovering my true self in a way, so really, it wasn't all bad. It was just hard at the time-trying to navigate this life in storm of change, confusion and fear. Things are better now I know about autism, I feel I have better understanding and that's proven to be a big aid to me.

I’m really pleased you that you’ve managed to get to where you are today, obviously everyone’s had their roller coaster lives but the memories and emotions are a very personal experience, I get the confusion and fear part, I’m really agitated at times because I can’t also understand what autism means for me? I hope that makes sense
