I have Autism. As a very late diagnosed female with a misdiagnosis of BPD I had to learn quickly about ASD. This changed my lilfe.

I am not broken. Yes, I have issues as a consequence of a late diagnosis but with help I can manage this.

I may make mistakes but I will do my very best to help share what I have learned and create a safe space for healing. We are all worth it.
