SO... I'M AUTISTIC!

this is a video i've been planning for weeks - and it’s one i’ve been wanting to make for YEARS...
i'm finally sharing my autism diagnosis! 🧠

there’s always some fear (of judgement, of misunderstanding, of hate) when revealing something as personal as this, but i strongly believe there are people out there who may feel seen or supported by this video or by my talking about/sharing my own experiences to try and de-stigmatise this label 🙂
but, here we are, hello! i can officially announce that i have my formal autism diagnosis after years of waiting lists and questioning - and i couldn’t be happier 🌱✨

the company i decided to go with (for a private diagnosis) was RTN and as said in the video, i had a really positive experience with them so i would definitely recommend doing your own research and finding a company that will suit your needs and have resources which will help you 💌
if you do want more information about the company i went with for my ASD assessment, i’ve linked them below 👇🏻
https://www.rtnmentalhealthsolutions....
⬆️ you can also get a discount (money off) both ASD and ADHD assessments through them using the code ‘ZB-RTN’ 💖

(this is an aff code, but all opinions are my own and this video isn’t sponsored by them, i just genuinely hope it could help some of you!!)

✰ About Me ✰
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about disability, neurodiversity and what its like living with Tourette's Syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Orthostatic Hypotension. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition causing involuntary movements called tics.
I use my social media (TikTok, YouTube and Instagram) to advocate and raise awareness for my conditions and show what it is like living with a disability as a neurodivergent person. I am also autistic and share my sensory struggles along with my experiences with mental health disorders.
I show what its like having a disability and the accommodations I have to help my daily life. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user showing my life using mobility aids and how chronic illness symptoms change from day to day!
I am also a musician with a popular song called "She's Mine" available on all streaming services - I wrote, produced, mixed and mastered all my songs myself! I am also an artist and a writer. I love reading and I'm currently writing a novel and a book about my life!
