I'm a self diagnosed #Audhd content creator and writer. I have been processing my newly discovered autism and looking back at my life prior to 31 to see my own past in a new way. I would love to connect with other autistic individuals! #actuallyautistic #neurodivergent— Neurodivergent | Jean Grey Rising (@Jeangreyrising) June 18, 2022

So...Autistic Pride Day #AutisticPrideDay Why? Because, like every minority and marginalised group, we need to be able to affirm our community. To acknowledge our history.
