Day 26 Learning from the Community

I have learned so much from the autistic community! A lot about myself, a lot of ways to accomodate myself and seek accommodations, and from the masto autistic community... how to be a positive, supportive community, tbh.

My partner taught me how to back out of things that get overwhelming and that it's okay to seek what makes you feel better (like laying in dark closets).

Everyone has taught me how to advocate for myself as self-dx, too. That's been a pretty big contribution since it hindered me for so long.

Wouldn't give that up for anything ♡
