I don’t often post vlogs here that are strictly personal, but this one is a little important to me! When I tell people that I have autism, many don’t believe me. They can’t imagine that someone like me - a woman in her thirties - can exist on the autism spectrum, and that’s because not only is autism one of those things that’s different for everyone, BUT it doesn’t help that the mainstream idea of autism often only focuses on one stereotype.
I’m here to talk about my experience having ASD. Feel free to skip this if you’re only here for the writing videos - I just wanted to be more open and maybe give a little insight to people who may be interested! 🥰
