My teenagers know more about Autism than any psych we’ve met!
#AutismDiagnosis #AutisticIdentity
@maxi @actuallyautistic It's been nearly 10 years since my adult diagnosis, and I am still talking about Autism! 🥳
For many, IMO, it remains a special interest. Which isn't surprising as it's the lens through which we experience life.
Yes, it does form an intrinsic part of my identity.
@TheMacMommy @Pathfinder My entire family is #ActuallyAutistic it is really common for #Autism to run in families; it is genetic.
And please don't feel like you're 'taking support' from other Autistics. Realising your #AutisticIdentity is one of the most important things you'll ever do. It explains so much and will help you understand yourself.
#SelfDiagnosis is valid!
@rekindled @Prof_Meowmers I have seen so many of these #CongratsOnTheAutism cakes and I STILL haven't had one for myself (or my family)!
I love them! 💗
And if you get one and you'd like to share it, please send it to me! I post them to my Instagram acc @autisticbookclub so everyone can see them!
