I was wondering how many of you have come out as openly autistic. Do you have a blog, a You Tube Channel etc.? Are you comfortable identifying yourself publicly as autistic? I was diagnosed four years ago and have only told a handful of my closest family and one or two others. I wonder if I was braver, and blogged openly as an Aspie for example, I would feel more at easy with myself. I am fifty four now and so have spent most of my life as undiagnosed, as feeling like an utter failure at life. Perhaps 'coming out' is an important step towards self acceptance. What do you think?
It's like having a life long scab. I've spent most of my life tugging at it in a hesitant manner. Perhaps it's time to rip it off. Perhaps I have to expose the wound before any real healing can take place?
