My autistic evil superpower is manipulation. I think it’s because I’ve had to study how to act for so long that the patterns are kind of mapped. Strategic evil manipulation, if you will. For real though. What’s your thing??

It has been such an interesting journey learning that I actually had autism midlife. I always kind of played with the idea, but was never sure.

It has given me the permission to forgive myself for a lot of things and lets me be myself. I’ve learned my favorite stims even. So helpful.

If I had realized how many of my ‘quirks’ were obvious signs of autism- like hand-flapping for gods sakes!!! You’d think someone would notice. But I’m a woman. And I’m smart. And I have a job. But I’ve had happy hands a long ass time.
