    I feel the opposite, Getting late diagnosed made me feel less broken as things started to click why I am how I am.

    Rather than trying to blend in and “fix” who I am, I’ve started to just not bother trying.

      It can be both – fear of admitting to yourself that maybe the bullies were right and there is something “wrong” with you, and learning to accept that you are different and this is how / this is what helps.

        Absolutely 100%, lt is very difficult to get out of that mindset of it being wrong/bad to be on the spectrum.

        I’m not totally and doubt I truly will ever be.
