I’ve been diagnosed autistic since I was 9. So It’s sad that there is still so much I don’t know about it.
So I joined this forum in the hopes that I might learn about it.
My parents aren’t really accepting of it. They know I’m diagnosed, but they still won’t educate themselves on it, or help me understand it. My teachers are no help either. I feel lost when it comes to this.
Like I was scrolling through Pinterest and I saw a post saying that you aren’t supposed to say your suffering with it anymore but like 85% of autism is a struggle! I’m sorry if this comes off as ignorant, but frankly I AM ignorant about this stuff because no ones ever explained it to me and I was never able to find the right resources!
Can someone help? Like just point me in the right direction or something. Please?
I feel so alone in all of this. I know there are so many people that have it to but no one ever wants to talk about it.
I mean I don’t even know how stimming really works! I don’t know how to to it! Just recently I used a fidget for the first time and I felt as if I were in heaven! Hell I just learned there’s something called Under-Stimulation apparently?? I’m so confused…
