Hello! I am reposting my pinned toots from my Mastdodon account, and this one is about who I am.
I'm Jessica, a British #Ace in her 30s who recently discovered they're #ActuallyAutistic.
I made a Twitter account last year when I thought I had BPD, OCD & GAD. However, I struggled to connect to those communities, and later learned I was misdiagnosed. I still experience depression and anxiety, though now see these stemming from being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world.
I have found acceptance and understanding in the #neurodivergent community which helps me learn something new about myself every day. I use my account to learn more and talk about my life and experiences as someone who recently learned they belonged to these communities.
I used to think I was shy, introverted and antisocial. I never posted much online for fear of being judged or misunderstood, it was easier to just keep to myself. I now know this isn't true, and I just hadn't found the right community.
Since being on Mastodon, I've really enjoyed meeting various people across many different communities. In a different pinned post, I've listed a bunch of interests in hashtags - feel free to follow if we share stuff in common!
