Hi! So in 2013, I was born. I started talking at 8 months and lined all my toys up. At two, my mum went and asked my doctor if I could get an autism assessment. She was told that I was 'too smart to have autism'. so I went along with my life until, in 2020, I got diagnosed with ADHD! (Yay! Answers!) So I got put on medication. Life went on (slowly getting more burnt out) until I got diagnosed with FND (look it up) Now I use a wheelchair, and it flares up with anxiety. So, in January 2024, I went for an autism assessment. Two months later, I got a diagnosis of level 1 communication and level 2 socialisation. It was freeing. I could finally start to unmask and am still learning how. I am proud of who I am and will never hide it.
