Tonight, after a lengthy evaluation period, I was diagnosed as autistic. This is not a surprise, but it’s a weird feeling to suddenly have answers to life-long questions. Weird but good. A lot of anger I’ve long harbored toward my childhood self, especially, has dissipated and been replaced with sorrow over things I experienced. This is a positive change.
This diagnosis also overturns my older diagnosis of ASPD
And now I can get some needed accommodations at school and possibly even at work!

I’m making a @ChaliceBlythe appreciation post. Why? Because she’s been a hero and role model of mine since I first became aware of her back in 2015, and I feel like acknowledging some of the countless ways she’s helped our community grow over the past 10 years. 🧵 1/10
