#AskingAutistics
I'm curious about how old you were, the first time you remember having a thought along the lines of 'I wonder if I might be autistic'?
And when did you know you were?

7 years for me, from 30-37.

@EverAutistic 44. I joined tiktok early in the pandemic.

I really hate the dismissive response some people have to those of us who learn about ourselves through social media. Really, for so many, it's the first time we see/hear enough autistic adults to understand what it means to be autistic.
@EverAutistic @edyother Especially given the people we're supposed to trust instead have done a great deal of harm to many of us when we first sought help the "acceptable" or "official" way.
