getting diagnosed with autism at 23 was the best thing that had happened to me in many many years and sure would have been nice if it was something I could have considered on my own

Also damn I wonder if there are race or gender disparities in autism diagnosis. Probably Not Fortunately

      my school wouldn't give me speech therapy in elementary school because my grades were good so now I have a permanent weird manner of speech that makes everyone think I'm foreign in my hometown

      I'm not mad about my accent nowadays but I get mad thinking back to that situation
