Me, an autism with it as my special interest/hyperfixation:

A little introduction I suppose

So I’ve been diagnosed with autism informally, doctor friend of my mother’s said I have it (but I’ve never met him, and he went off of things my mother relayed back to him). Since I was informed of this I’ve been doing a little research here and there, just trying to grasp it and see if this is really true. I’ve read a lot of articles, and recently been going through tags on here to see what autistic people have to say. Although I got the “diagnosis” almost nine months ago, I’ve only come to slowly embrace it as of the last few weeks. This is because I made an OC, and I made her autistic, and I started researching for her and realized a lot of the things I’ve been learning apply to me as well. It’s scary, and it’s hard to accept but I can’t pinpoint why exactly. I think it’s a lot of internalized ableism? That’s the terminology I’ve seen used that I think applies best to me best. I’m new to this, and still very much learning. But I made this little blog to try and learn easier, to maybe find some people who can answer the questions I have. I’ve been going through tags on here for the last week now, and so many people seem so kind and wonderful, so I hope I get to meet some of you.
