rekindledA Letter To My Younger Self (Before I knew I was #Autistic)
Dear younger me,
I am writing to you from 20 years in the future. I know things are tough right now, but you will get through it. I know you won’t believe me, but everything really is going to be ok. I hope that I can share some perspective with you that will be helpful.
The reason why you are struggling and have struggled so much is not because you are weak or a failure. It’s because you are wired differently to everyone else. You are autistic! Being autistic means that your brain and nervous system work differently to most people. This can make life challenging because the world is not designed for people like us. It’s like we’re always playing the ‘game’ of life on hard mode. It’s no wonder you are so often stressed and exhausted!
