Thank you for making this video! I'm in the process of pursuing a diagnosis at 19 and it's nice to hear a late-diagnosed (and poc) person's experience that I can relate to. Comparing and contrasting your experience with my more repressed upbringing from childhood trauma has given me some insight into how i acted as a child. I very much still related to the girly special interests being dismissed, my parents thinking I was in my own world when i wasn't responding, and arranging things as a child, but other behaviours were often berated out of me or I was told I was just doing them for attention, so it can be hard to pinpoint specific memories of autistic behaviour. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Good points! What do you do for a living and do you find that you autism hinders in any way?

I clean for a living, and it doesn't particularly hinder me at my job. I have good attention to details so I'm good at what i do. But of course it's always nuanced
