Hello

This_is_me1

Hello, I had a late diagnosis of Autism last September. Relief in one way but hard in another. Anyone else feel that way? Thanks!

    i was diagnosed last December and it was a massive relief. A few weeks later I had moments of sadness and regret about being an autistic person, but that doesn’t happen so much now. I have had depression and anxiety for many years, so the diagnosis is helping me absolve myself of some guilt.

    I always focus on the positives or at least what are positives to me like I can learn much in such a short time period if the subject is something I love like when I finally embraced the fact i LOVE Taylor’s music I learned every fact I could about her as a person that I didn’t already know and was all like YES WHALE 

    same with skateboarding every time I feel that passion for skateboard take the foreground in my mind again I learn so many new skating facts and discover new skaters but still fall back on my OGs of Tony hawk,Rodney Mullen,chad muska Ryan sheckler etc
