What's changed in the years since realising I'm #ActuallyAutistic?

Virtually my entire perception of myself and my experiences!

All those mental health crises? Autistic burnout.

Self harming at work? Meltdowns.

Disordered eating? ARFID.

Lazy, selfish, nasty little girl? Overwhelmed autistic.

Got off antidepressants, stopped self harming, stopped teeth grinding, insomnia got better, eating better, and slowly, slowly learning to be compassionate and understanding to myself.

@elaurian

Finally understanding ourselves, makes such a huge difference in terms of how we can treat ourselves.

@pathfinder Absolutely! It's not always easy to put self compassion into practice but worth trying 💜

@elaurian

Indeed. Especially once you realise that what you are taking care of, is actually real and worthy.
