Lengthy vulnerable post ahead;
April is Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month and every year I have shared as an ally, friend and supporter. This year is entirely different.

My journey has been a long, complicated and arduous one. I have been struggling in life for as long as I can remember. Misdiagnosis after misdiagnosis led me down a path of severe depression and anxiety. I never felt that I was getting answers and for that I also felt completely stuck and reached a point that I was unable to even recognize myself in the mirror. This has also led me to my real world and social media hiatus. It wasn’t until about a month ago that my life started to change. I started getting notions from my therapist to seek some new resources which led me to seeking new testing. After nonstop battles with doctors and medications and misinformed medical professionals, at 33 years old it is confirmed that I am Autistic and have ADHD.

Why share this? I have been confused my whole life, meant to feel broken and undeserving. I never felt I knew who I was and now I have answers. Truth, my truth. I have never felt strong enough to take up space with myself, my ideas, my personality. I have forced myself to parade for people like a dancing monkey. I was always meant to feel weird and unusual. I want this to be a beacon of light to someone, anyone, that there is more. There are answers. With that being said I also want to state that although this changes everything, it also doesn’t change anything at all and those two worlds can live together in harmony. Neurodivergence is different, not less than, not worse. It is just different. I have so many emotions that I am still working through, processing, and grief that comes along with finding out such important information about yourself at 33. However, I do know one thing for certain. I, for the first time in my life, have hope.

Here’s to a new chapter and new meaning in my life! Thanks for reading if you got this far ❤️
