    When you said “if it was as easy as saying ‘I don’t care what people think’ we would have done it a long time ago, I don’t care what people think until my survival depends on it’ I literally went ‘THANK YOU! EXACTLY!’“ out loud 😂 I discovered your channel a few days ago and have been really enjoying watching your videos. I relate so strongly to the feeling of “I would not be here anymore if it wasn’t for my diagnosis” and I’m still working on the “other people don’t need to understand me as long as I understand me”... it’s so hard because we want to be seen, right? I’m a bit older than you (28 years old in April, I got my diagnosis in February 2024) and I think you’re very wise and say very important things, even if sometimes you doubt it. I appreciate your honesty 🙏 thanks for your contribution to the autistic community, EVERY voice needs to be heard ❤

      I am so glad to reach you and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It really means the world, especially coming from other autistics. If it weren’t for the internet I may have never been diagnosed and I definitely wouldn’t have been able to talk with other autistic people as easily. Please take care and be well. 🫶 :)

    I have felt like an alien of sorts since I was a little kid (kindergarten +).

    Hey Bri, I just want to say I resonate with you so much. It's like you are speaking my exact thoughts. Thoughts I have already rehearsed over and over in my mind if that makes sense.

      Thank you. It’s a bittersweet kind of comfort knowing there are others who think and feel the same.

      @@brisbreathing I know, I find it so strange though! How we can feel so different and yet others also feel like this... It's definitely a new revelation for me.

    Your video content is excellent. I really enjoy your RUclips channel. However, your channel is not very well customized, and the videos could be better optimized for SEO. You have a great opportunity to grow even more!
