- In this video, I share my personal journey of being diagnosed with autism in my late twenties, a revelation that came after years of being told that girls couldn't have autism when I was younger. Growing up, I exhibited early signs that something was different, but these were often overlooked or misinterpreted due to prevailing gender stereotypes. This delayed my diagnosis and led to a long path of self-discovery and advocacy.
I delve into the initial signs of autism that I experienced in childhood and how they were dismissed or misunderstood by those around me. The process of finally receiving a diagnosis was both challenging and enlightening. I encountered numerous obstacles, including losing important information and enduring several misdiagnoses along the way.
Throughout the video, I aim to shed light on the complexities of diagnosing autism, especially in women, and the impact of societal misconceptions. My story is not just about the diagnosis itself but also about the resilience and persistence required to seek answers in a world that often overlooks the unique experiences of women on the autism spectrum. I hope that by sharing my experiences, I can offer support and insight to others who might be on a similar path.

Thank you for taking the time to watch! 🥰
Well done on your 1st video 👏 sorry to hear how long it took once you 1st spoke to Dr
Thank you! I have a bunch more ideas for videos, which I am excited to share 😁 Oh gosh, what a mess it was 🙈 hopfully someone who is also being messed around a bit might see this and see that there is an end in sight ☺️
It is a nice video as a first one. I think that every personal experience can bring new relatable information about autism so I have subscribed and waiting with hope for your next videos. 👍
Thank you so much for your kind feedback 🥰 I have lots of stories to tell!
Interesting. I see a lot of myself in the video + I have the classic movie autistic tropes that I'm good at math and science .. Never cared to be tested, don't see the point of it.. Nobody cares anyway.
I think once education is over, there is definitely less of a "need" for diagnosis as there is no help for adults (not where I live anyway). However, it seems to be the case that it is much easier for your children to get diagnosis if the parent is diagnosed and it is really beneficial throughout school as they can apply for extra help etc to support the child. I also re entered education as an adult, and the difference in support is outstanding.
People definitely care, though! If something is important to you then it is important 💕 if its not then that's cool too 😁
@@eyupnel Sorry for flooding your vids with comments. The ABR video popped out on my feed as a biker related. Did not know about the other content .. Usually don't talk about that kind of stuff.. Good luck with your knees on the upcoming surgery.
@@Stefan_trekkie no problem, always happy to chat! 😄
