Autism

I am an autistic adult. I write about autism, my autistic experiences, and the history of this neurocognitive condition as a self-advocate to help share education in the hopes of spreading awareness and acceptance.

Autism is highly stigmatized and parents often grieve when their children receive this diagnosis. I am here to tell you that while your feelings are valid, your child is not any less of a person than who you built them up to be in your mind. They are still full of potential, love, and innocence, and their future has yet to be written.

I do not speak for the autistic community; I am just one voice in the autistic community.

Survey: Autism and Age of Diagnosis

At what age do autistic people get diagnosed? How prevalent is a late diagnosis and how late is a late diagnosis? How many of these adults have been diagnosed since childhood? This is what I hope to answer with my survey for autistic people.
