YAAAY! MY WIERDNESS FINALY MAKES SENSE!
a year ago
So I took some tests. I am having problems with the math potion of the TX teacher license exams and was looking to update my diagnosis related to math to seek some accommodations before retaking. The test they gave was more comprehensive than that.
So long story short; I have what I already knew: Social phobic Anxiety and PTSD, and!
I finally have a tentative diagnosis for something I always wondered about but kept close to my chest.
I am Autistic!
The funny thing is, it's actually a relief to know! I(t clarifies SO damn much for me.
I kinda wanna wear it out and be proud because so much of the way my brain works suddenly makes sense to me now and I can stop feeling embarrassed of my weird idiosyncratically or awkward social hang-ups.
I mask really well. too well, and that's why it's gone undetected for so long. I only started to explore it now, when more about it has been coming out and I'd see stuff and be like "THAT!! HOLY SHIT!! THAT'S ME!!"
It's like a weight off knowing that I', not just some weirdo that can't pr4ocess or cope; that there's a reason. Knowing that is really empowering for me.
