I have no problem accepting MYSELF. Please have my mother accept my autism.

Fay Belle sooo true! I have the same problem! I tried. Therapist tried. Everyone tried to explain it to her, but she is in her „everyone is gonna be fine“ world. And I want!! I need!! Support in situations. I don’t know what to do anymore...

When I was diagnosed in high school... All of a sudden a lot of things about myself just made sense. It took a long time to be comfortable enough to share that with pretty much anyone, but when I opened up about it to my friends they all went, yeah, that explains some things.

I’ve been gradually studying autism over the last year and I think I may be autistic. My dad and mother’s behavior also show signs of autism. My mom for example will not go to birthday parties because I think the people overestimate her and that happens to me too. I need a looooot or alone time doing what I love. My dad’s wife just told me this week that my dad doesn’t talk very much at all, has no friends, and spends like two hours studying finances by himself on some bench near their house after he gets off work. It’s kind of a relief to find a word to describe why I feel really awkward around people and that also explains why I loove to spend time on things I’m interested in and ask for a lot of space in my romantic relationship.

So before watching this video I had a moment at work that usually would have sent me into panic mode and absolute deep depression for about 2 days. However because I have learned so much about myself partially thanks to this channel in the last year or so I was able to "ACCEPT" what my boss was telling me and tell him things that I would do to do better at the job. So I wholeheartedly agree that this is going to be a great autism "acceptance" 😁month.

@@OakCroftFilms thanks for having your channel because it has been very informative and enlightening at very opportune times. Keep it up. Would like to hear more about the process of getting an Autism service dog.

I, myself, think sometimes that I am not autistic, also I know (because of doctors) that I am. That comes by the fact, that I found out about autism and mentioned it to my therapist. Then they figgured out , yes, it is autism. But like this I constantly think that I made all the symptoms up, and do by know. (Because my mother thinks so too it doesn’t make things easier). I jump between : Yes, I am autistic and No, I made everything up, when I was little, everything was just fine

[@zavidrobins]

Good At explaining it

[@sambawolkchen811]

Is pretty self explainetory... -cut- (because maybe jess forgot sth/ explained it not well) haha oh irony😂🙈

[@thenexva]

It’s hard me tell people about my autism. But as for the people I have told? They accept me like family, and it genuinely feels amazing.
