sorry to post about this here but: got my official assessment for autism. Yup, I'm autistic (': it feels cathartic having it in official documentation for my doctors and such. i've always known I had it but now it's really real... the tiny victories ig anyways that's all bye

Thank you very much for the kind messages. It does feel nice to know I'm not alone in this. I feel embarrassed to share it openly, but it does feel cathartic in a way to just let it out. It's forever a process...but one I want to learn how to navigate somehow. I really appreciate it, and I also hope you're doing well.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to send this message, but I just wanted you to know that I've been going through a very similar situation to you... using edibles to self-medicate, dealing with PMDD, dealing with having a mother who doesn't care about any of it... I know that I can't fully understand what you're going through, because you're You, but I wanted you to know that you're not alone

in what you're struggling with and that there's someone out there really truly rooting for you. I'd like to believe that both of us can find a way through these issues, so I'm wishing you all the best and good luck with everything!! Obviously, if you ever want to talk about it, I'd be more than willing to lend an ear as well. I'm sorry if I overstepped at any point, and have a wonderful day =)

congrats! the official assessment part is always hard (my doctor kind of talked me out of it and i wish they hadn't), I hope this brings you some sort of peace
@dizzispell thank you! I'm sorry you were talked out of that, that's awful ): It feels validating and also kind of bittersweet to know things happened that weren't the best, but maybe I can begin healing anew. Thank you for your kind words 🫂
Congrats!!!
