I hope people here will appreciate a video I have posted on my YouTube channel:
Autistic Not Alien | Family Misfortunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cs7DxY20r4
In the video, I describe an experience that happened a long time ago, and which hurts as if it happened yesterday. We are raised to believe that family is synonymous with refuge, but reality is different. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always felt inadequate and undeserving of praise or love. I wonder how much this is to do with the experience I talk about here, and how much it’s related to being autistic in a world that still struggles to accept autistic people.
