Thanks for the youtube recommendation.
I personally think it’s valuable to have a non-parent perspective. There are too many parents who don’t make an effort to seek out the viewpoints of ND folks. I could go on about how they’re probably the same parents who expect kids to be a certain way and live up to their own expectations rather than be individual people but that’s a rant for another day.
That’s a great point wrt: diagnosis as an adult. Many folks with ASD have learned how to mask effectively enough that they are then dismissed by psychiatrists later in life because they’re not exhibiting specific symptom.
