"Just ignore them" ...o_O I CANT Those comments get the most likes and it does bother me. There's so many people out there who aren't aware of modern research in autism. And if they care so much to comment about it, then they should care enough to do their research I know this is something a lot of late diagnosed autistic people experience- people discrediting their diagnosis. And it feels so personal because we are still wounded from the battle we just fought with ourselves for sooo long. I know we have to our part to strengthen ourselves/be less affected by these dismissals. It's hard work and it's so much easier said than done. But as im working towards that, I want to be open and honest and share my frustrations. Because I know there are so many of you who relate. And I think it helps us heal to see ourselves in others it's hard for me to relate to "just ignore them" / "stop caring what people think" like have you tried that?? It's really hard lol #actuallyautistic #autismacceptance #autisticwomen
