I can't thank you in words. Thank you, Arwyn. 🤗 Such an honor to have you comment on all this. Every comment of yours was helpful education and insight, including your encouragement about being a part of the autism community. I love your writing style too, and I am so glad I found you as a fellow 28-year-old on Medium who I so enjoy.
"Understanding my sensory triggers better, particularly, has helped me to prevent upsets from occurring. Until I knew I was autistic, I had no idea just how hard I'd been pushing myself to fit in to the detriment of my own health and happiness."
"I think anyplace you can find a real sense of community is a place worth being."
YES!
You are the best. :)
Can't wait for your piece about impressionability! If you so desire, you can even tag me in it, or reply to this comment with a link once it's done.
