I’ve been looking for just the right information and also a bit of a “welcoming” to this new perspective. This was a great read.
I’m familiar with the idea of forgiving ones self, and this has been a particularly difficult year, but my new diagnosis has allowed me to really approach forgiving myself for the first time in my life.
So You've Just Learned You're Autistic... – Autistic Empath
“This reframing will go on for the rest of your life, so start now and keep making the effort to see where you’ve blamed yourself for things that were never your fault.
FORGIVE
Forgive yourself for all those times you thought you were bad or wrong or useless, etc. You were not. You just didn’t have the help you needed.
Forgive yourself for not loving yourself because you didn’t understand. Make a promise to love yourself as you are from now on, understanding that you are autistic and that’s ok. You’re ok the way you are.”
