When did / What made you realise?

AutisticBeaut2025

Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your help with my autism research as you have been a big part of my autism journey that I’ve been on since I’ve fallen out with my best friend and you have also made me see realise that the NeuroDiversity World is beautiful as well as complicated but I have loved every second of it.

In the meantime, I have one last challenging question for you, which is when did you realise that you were autistic and what made you go for an assessment?  If you can’t remember exactly then that’s fine but if you know roughly then that would be great.

Im just curious and intrigued

Time to get your thinking caps on!!xx

  • Mainly I couldn't understand why people treated me so badly, or rejected me so much. Even at work in groups, I saw the structure of groups was against me, the complicity of human networks and the basic nature of discrimination and glimses of fascism. These are human differences. Autistic people are still ridiculed, and I realise now its not even as if the act that is there to protect us, really does in the same way that other discrimination and disability protection areas do. So my understanding was also linked to my outlook. There are agressive forcefull people working against humanity, these people are not only poorly educated they also have poor values. This is the most painful realisation, that I you may never be ablt to change that. Its the same underlying paint or injustice felt when someone insults you for any part of you that makes you unique as a person. 

    ...so my realisation was actually several things, the mistreatment by the hands of other people which I largely kept to myself until later, my sense that others way of working was not working for me, hypersensitity to the world - alhough I am not sure anyone other that those close to me would know it.
