LIFE with an INVISIBLE DISABILITY

[@mazky]

I can relate to the impostor syndrome feeling. It was sufficiently fueled both by how challenging it was to even get an appointment in the right place for a diagnosis, as well as by my own insecurity. Kind of in the same way as you can be depressed without really being aware of it, the "everyone's a bit autistic" can pull you back. Also not liking to make a "big deal" out of things. Someone being loud about their needs, made me be rather silent about mine. Luckily, it's gotten easier to be open. Also about burnout, which is helpful at work. Rather than barely having energy to work, it became the only place I could relax. I am nowhere near as good as you when it comes to public awareness, but videos like yours had a big part in my journey to attain the diagnosis :)

I am SO humbled and grateful that my ramblings can support you in any capacity, especially if it's just feeling less alone and more validated in who you are. :)
