From my favourite place by and for late diagnosed/realized autists. It’s a very long piece, and be aware that you are probably going to see yourself in some parts of it. If yes I feel you, and it is so weird to read a big part/component of my reality so well described! Some advice at the end of the text on how to try to learn to unlearn. I tried with a few health professionals in my life forced by the reality of my rare genetic mutation and thankfully it works. #ActuallyAutistic #autism Please add the @ autistics group in the comments, I can’t from my new instance. —— Learned Helplessness in Autism: Why You Stopped Asking for What You Need You are not low maintenance.
