As an autistic individual who didn't receive a diagnosis until later in life, I remember the impact of not having an understanding of why some of the things that were happening to me were happening. It created a lot of confusion, struggle, and a sense of feeling lost and unable to help myself. When a diagnosis came it offered clarity and awareness, but I struggled to find support as a newly autistic adult in different areas of my life.
This is why I am always working to connect others to resources as well as create my own based on my own life experience and what I continue to discover is helpful that may help others like me.
