I’m also autistic and a muslim so this is inspiring and I feel like I’m not alone in this. A lot of people think I’m normal just because I don’t act like the typical autistic person and even my mother thinks I’m out of it the spectrum but deep down I know that I can never run away for who I am so accepting myself gives me more peace 🩷

The fear is there when we looked normal and austic we are hindered and worried to declare our health status to employments despite it. Discrimination again work. Not just austism,ADHD ,health issues ...

Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts. It gave me better perspective for my 2 autistic children. Thank-you

They're all so sweet. Happy for her. ❤

Be really sure should you want to get medically diagnose as you will unlikely be able to get additional health insurance in Singapore once diagnosed.
