Hey, Thanks for messaging. It means a lot to know that my content is useful to people. Well I learned by watching peoples youtube videos and then I started reading books about autistic women's experience. autisticadvocacy.org/ this is a good advocacy network
@@AutisticAlignment Amazing! I'll check that out. I am quite new in diving into this and learning more and more about it. If anything comes up, I'll definitely ask.🙏🏽
I was in camhs after a burnout at 16 i had a very similar experience to not being diagnosed due to social skills. Because my psychiatrist was so adamant i was not autistic i too denied it. It is only now at an even lower point ive been able to see the obvious truth and I wonder how they did not see it when i was a teen. So much pain could have been mitigated but perhaos its best not to dwell Thank you for sharing your experience.
Experiences like this can be so invalidating and it sucks that not all of us have access to a competent psychologist. It is unfortunate that so many of us have to get to this 'breaking point' in order to self accept and make sense of our selves. I wished that I had been diagnosed as a child too however after a lot of pondering I no longer think this. The supports would have been different and society was not as accepting back then and it might have been harder in many ways. I guess we will never know but I'm glad that the diagnosis has connected me with like minded people and I no longer feel alone. Thank you for sharing your experience feel free to ask me any questions if you have any.
I was told at my disability hearing by the pretty famous psychologist from a very famous hospital and university that I couldn't be Autistic because I had a boyfriend 😮

Thank you for this. It really means a lot to witness someone’s experience. Where do you get the articles and resources for autism?

Lockdown was the best year of my life. Was it like this for most Autists?
