For those of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades who understood that they're autistic later in life, did you find that the realization helped you get your life into a better spot? Or did it make things more complicated?
@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic It's changed everything for the better. It's only more complicated and more challenging to the extent that I let it be.
The autistic urge to reveal everything you know about a topic you like the second someone brings it up, feeling as though you may burst if you don’t, even though the person you’re speaking to probably has only a mild interest in the subject and will be shocked by your passion.
