30 Days of Autism Acceptance: 28
April 28th: If you could give advice to someone who just found out that they are autistic, what advice would you give?
Don’t panic. Ha, ha. Seriously, though, I think a lot of things that didn’t make sense before are now going to click into place. For me, looking back at my past, it was like being at the optometrist and a lens slid into place and suddenly everything fell into focus.
If you are late in life like I was when I got my diagnosis, then you might have a rough road ahead of you as you try to unlearn all of the coping mechanisms you’ve acquired through the years to get by, but trust me, it’ll be worth it in the end.
