Hi my name's Olive and I'm 18! I'm a little nervous to be joining this community as I've never really had a support network for my autism but I hope this will help me feel more welcomed and more, if anything, normal. I think interacting with people like me will be good for me as it will help me feel less alone, which I always have been when it comes to understanding my autism.
I am yet undiagnosed, but as I recently turned 18 and am seeking an adult diagnosis. My journey in discovering my autism is a long one and has been since I was a baby and only in recent years have I been comfortable accepting myself as autistic and talking about my autism to others, although still it makes me nervous. As a teenage girl living in this generation where there is a lot of stigma around mental disorders it's very easy for someone to accuse me of lying and whilst many have supported me, others haven't.
I hope there are other people in this community who can relate to my experience and accept me.
Hi Seaqueen
i have never heard of them comics I will be looking for them I'm on here looking for advice on how to best help my 16 year old son who is struggling at the moment with his anxiety as I don't know what to do or say for the best. I have told him to join this to speak to people who are going through the same feelings as him who can help him better than I can.
