Thanks for sharing your story. You're right. Autistic experiences need to be talked about more and Autistic communities need to exist. It's one of the reasons I built a business support group specifically for those with autism and/or adhd. I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to give you one piece of constructive feedback. Your article might pull people in more if you share your personal story first, then extrapolate from that a broader universal message and lesson. Anyway, great job. Thanks for sharing.
