Overcoming the Stigma of Autism

hi! I'm WhiteBBQ, I'm 22 and I was diagnosed with autism when I was 4. I used to have severe seizures when I was young and it negatively affected how I viewed myself and my thoughts .My entire life I lived with this negative stigma about the way I think and view things I'm passionate about. I've spent years focusing on what was wrong with my head and I'm still working my way to thinking positively about my autism. I'd love to talk if people have ever felt the same way I have

I have also struggled with feelings of self loathing and inferiority for most of my life. Mostly because pretty much everyone kept on me growing up about trying to be more ‘normal’; I’m profoundly miserable over who and what I am; but I’m working through my ish with my therapist to try and be better

I have autism as well, and I’ve been writing for years too.
