Hi, I’m Lizzie. I’m 26 and was diagnosed with autism when I was 24. It was something I had thought about for a long time, and it was a relief to find out I was right and it was good to finally get the support I needed.
I have recently finished my art history and visual cultures degree, and I’m proud of myself but it caused me to go through my first experience of autistic burnout and I honestly haven’t felt okay since March time. I’m hopeful I’ll find some support and help from this community, and I’m trying to embrace my autism rather than force myself to be neurotypical and end up in the pits of depression :’)
Some little facts about me: I love to make collages, my special interests are Animal Crossing, the Professor Layton games, lip balms and currently also the Legend of Zelda (playing Skyward Sword for the first time and loving it!). My dog is my favourite person, my favourite film is Us, and I have a Green Day tattoo :3
