When I was first diagnosed Autistic (over 8 years ago now) I really wanted to somehow “wake up” all the other Autistics I saw around me who had no idea they were Autistic.
I’m still working on it, but I’ve literally made it my job to “wake up” as many as ND humans as possible.

After realizing I was autistic I started recognizing the traits in my family and friends. I would say “did you know that’s a trait of autism?”
And when I tell you people do NOT like to hear that.. 💀
The internalized ableism is rampant 😭 how do you get around that?
Two told me no, then came back 6 months later, and said they figured out they were.
One had been my boss, lol.
