It's so important to accept the entire Autistic community. That means: - People diagnosed as a child - People late diagnosed - People who think they might be Autistic, but aren't sure yet - People who don't care about labels - Our fathers, mothers, and grandparents who will never know

Do you have a fav group here that you can recommend for autism?

I was 45 when I figured it out on tiktok. My algorithm clocked me in 2 days. Then there was the whole 5 stages of grief, as I relived my entire childhood, teen years, and early adulthood. Then I sought clinical diagnosis from my psychiatrist. I'm 48 now, and it's been a journey!

Somehow realizing this connected the rest of my dots for why I’m more socialist leaning. So many ppl are forced to go without support and even defend their lack of support and call it strength. Suffering is not fun for anybody though😕💔

I was diagnosed in my 50s and am now in my 60s. I was driven out of all FB autism groups due to the "OK Boomer" stuff. Then they say, "We don't mean you!" Oh - only "the bad ones". Familiar, that.

It's not my place to gatekeep, I have my own issues to deal with. I don't need for others to conform to my experience to be valued. Welcome aboard one and all. May you know yourselves better. 💋

I'm 59 and was only recently diagnosed. Kind of makes me wonder what my life would have been like if I'd known why I was "different".

This is so real. When you start to see those who were before you and your kiddos who were also autistic but the world wasn’t aware it’s intense.

Almost 60 and well aware I fall on the spectrum (though undiagnosed). I wonder what things would have been like if I had received the guidance I needed when I was young instead of just learning how to fake being normal.

Please don’t forget that some of us late diagnosed Autistics were likely also abused/neglected by those family members that will never know our status.

For me, it has been eye-opening how many neurodivergent friends and family members I have. I tend to get along really well with people who are autistic and/or adhd. Wonder why...

When my son (now 12) was diagnosed a few years ago, that's how I realized all of the struggles he has were also my own and they were traits of his autism. I also have since come to realize I have CPTSD as well from the years of bullying both in school and at home, because I was different.

As one on the spectrum, I try not letting being diagnosed get in the way of trying to "fit in".
