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.
