"If we all worked under the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance." - Orville Wright
True in science, as well as personal growth. What have you been told is true that you've found out (or suspect) isn't?
I'm working to group and curate the massive collection of info I have on topics relevant to the later identified autistic journey, so it's easier to find and sort through. (Over 200 blog posts and 350 videos.)
Which topics are you interested in?

What if you could talk to a version of yourself 20 years from now? What would they want you to know? What can they tell you that will help you right now?

Reposts also appreciated ☺️

The same way the french youtuber Za explains how the adhd meds work on the brain, I would like to really understand what makes masking exhausting, why it can't last.
I see it, I feel it, I don't understand it so I can't really heal from it.
Do you have any ressources on that topic ? French or english
