Скачать или смотреть Things I Got Wrong About Autism (Before My Diagnosis)

Before I knew I was autistic, I got a lot of things wrong—about autism and about myself. I thought I was just “too sensitive” 🥺, “too much” 💥, or somehow broken 💔. Turns out, I was just misunderstood 🤍. In this video, I’m sharing the biggest myths I believed before my diagnosis, and how unlearning them changed everything 🔄. It’s a look back 👀—but also a step toward self-trust and clarity 🌱.
