  My only autism flex is that my special interest is dog training so to most neurotypical people I just look like a dog trainer so they ask for advice which means I can info dump on them heheheh 😈

  I talked to my therapist a couple weeks ago (after a highly enlightening conversation with my partner) about possibly getting a diagnosis for Autism, especially since it&apos;s prevalent in my family. <br><br>I got screwed over by the eye contact bit.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaMWFSp-oZM&amp;t=331">5:31</a> Helped me to a massive breakthrough about my bio mom and I&apos;s relationship. I&apos;ve always felt like she never loved the real me, felt like she never really knew me and who I was, only the perfect temperate &quot;girl&quot; she conditioned me to be. Most of all I never really understood how she told me (around the age of 15 too), I was changing into something she didn&apos;t like, when at the time I felt like I was discovering myself. I&apos;ve been masking my entire life, and it started unmasking all the way back then, before I even knew the word for it. My bio mom didn&apos;t love &quot;me&quot;, she loved the mask that I formed to conform to her standards of &quot;normal&quot;. And as soon as I started to unmask, she wanted to change me. It&apos;s heart breaking and cathartic because I can finally describe what happened in my own terms, without the hateful rejection she gave me for growing into my own person. I wasn&apos;t turning into a monster, I wasn&apos;t &quot;turning bad&quot;, I was just becoming myself, a person she doesn&apos;t love. I&apos;m 20 years old and I finally understand and I finally feel free. I can&apos;t thank these creators enough, they&apos;ve given me the tools to get to this breakthrough and it has changed how I veiw myself and my relationship with my bio mom.

  I mentioned autism to my therapist one time and she was like “you definitely don’t have autism” and when I asked why she said “first of all, you’re good at making eye contact” and then I didn’t hear anything else she said because I was overthinking my eye contact😀 Also she does not know the full me. We do our sessions over a video call and the second that camera turns on I change completely.

  I’m not autistic as far as I know, even thought I’m maybe 85% sure I am. This community is so heartwarming and I can relate to some of them so much<br>I wish I had friends who understood me like this.

  My stepmom and dad sat me down several weeks ago and went through a list of stuff thats associated with Autism and that I might’ve been misdiagnosed with ADHD instead…it was quite spot on and I’ve been doing a lot of research since then.
