I Think I Might Be Autistic... Now What?!

After living a pretty "normal" life, I was diagnosed with autism at 31 years of age. Pursuing the diagnosis was a big decision that came with many questions. I'm here to answer those questions for you and explore the overall challenges and benefits of the diagnostic process.

My brain does better off of social media, so you won't find me on Facebook or Instagram, but I'd love to have a convo in the comments. Let me know if you've started the diagnostic process and how it's going, or what's holding you back. I'm here to offer support!

***EDIT: Since posting this video, I have learned more about the horrific origins of the term "aspergers" and have since stopped using this term as well as "aspie" which is a derivation of the word, and renamed my channel. In future videos I will make sure to address this issue when referencing any materials that use this term. If you are interested in learning more about the origins of this term, please be warned that you will be reading very upsetting information regarding TRIGGER WARNING child violence. I apologize for any upset or harm I may have caused by using these terms without knowing their origins.
