I loved this piece! Diagnosed at 39, I feel like I’m just assembling the true me for the first time. What a wild adventure that is. I’m grateful for your words and how they help me make more sense of my own lived experience!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I really relate. Self-identified at 38, and the process of finally assembling the real version of myself has been soooo disorienting but grounding at the same time. You're right, it is a wild adventure! And I’m moved that my words connected with you in that way. I hope to hear about it as you go along 😁
Not official but, at 39,after wracking my brain trying to understand myself, everything here just brings a lump to my throat, my eyes fill with tears and it feels just like me, thank you for this space 🌻
Thank you for saying this, wow ❤️And for your lovely support of my notes/posts. The time you choose to spend reading my words means SO much.
I figured my 'tism out a week before I turned 39. Thank goodness! I'm very happy for you! It might be overwhelming at first since so much starts to make sense all at once, but you're not alone. Let yourself feel it. There’s no rush to “arrive” anywhere. Just take your time, be kind to yourself, and know this space will be here for you whenever you need it. 🌻
Wow, that’s a beautiful thing to say. Thank you. I never know how to respond to things like this without sounding awkward, but I really do appreciate it. ❤️

“Most people won’t understand how valiant it is to be autistic and choose visibility anyway.” This is so very true. Thank you.
