Hi everyone! Thank you for taking the time to listen. Here is my link: https://gofund.me/fb0fbdb89
If you aren’t able to donate I completely understand, just sharing my link would mean just as much to me :)
I am a female in my twenties who was recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. For as long as I can remember, I struggled to fit in and always felt there was something different about me, but I never knew why until my recent diagnosis. Receiving this diagnosis recently has brought both relief and new challenges.
For a long time, I've been experiencing autistic burnout, but I still have to work to make ends meet. The stress of balancing work and my mental health has been overwhelming, especially since my insurance mistakenly said they would cover my diagnosis, but ended up not covering the expense. This left me with medical bills that I now owe.
The support from this fundraiser will help me temporarily reduce my working hours, giving me the space to prioritize recovery. It will also ease the stress of my medical bills and help me pay them, so I can focus on getting out of burnout and improving my well-being. Having ASD makes my day-to-day emotions and stress extremely heightened, and I would be so grateful to be able to allow myself the time to prioritize my mental health.
I know there are people who have things much worse, and I understand this may not seem very 'dire.' Nonetheless, I would be extremely grateful for anyone willing to listen, understand, and help. Your support means the world to me, and I appreciate any help you can offer
