Understanding Neurodiversity and Self-Diagnosis
Receiving a diagnosis of autism can be a life-changing event that offers clarity and understanding of one's experiences. It empowers individuals by revealing they are not alone and that their behaviors and thought patterns are typical aspects of neurodiversity. Embracing this identity allows individuals to view their traits as strengths rather than weaknesses. For instance, recognizing one's patterns can shed light on long-standing questions about personal characteristics and behaviors.
