So I was today years old when I found out I'm
#ActuallyAutistic and I don't know what to do with this information...I don't even know where I should start. Also, finally learned that what I've been dealing with aren't just panic attacks and then being tired, no no, it's autistic burnout. So apparently my symptoms have been being treated but not for the correct thing. What do I do with this information? Where do I even start? According to my examiner or whatever you call them, I never got tested as a kid because I did well in school, and apparently I've gotten pretty great at masking? Also apparently females tend to mask more successfully in life than males and is probably why I never got tested till recently? What the hell is wrong with the system! I've been misdiagnosed my whole life!
