Autism, From Someone Who Is On The Spectrum

Wish More People Know This (August 2019)

This is not directed at anyone on here. I just need to get this out!

"It is hard for me to share my voice. As an autistic person, I have been on receiving end of a lot of critique - about not eating the right things; not watching the right things; not doing things the right way. It makes me very sensitive to criticism. As someone who is by nature attentive to details I am good at noticing and correcting my own flaws, but for that to happen I need to be held within a space of unconditional support. In order to grow I need people to give that space - to encourage me, to affirm me, to believe in me. I need people to build me up, to help me feel like I something to offer. My foundation is more vulnerable than you might realize. I need your kind words so much."-Kitty Bull

I have always had a hard time with criticism and it rubs me the wrong way most of the time. It is worse when comes from someone is not willing to help you success. The problem in my life most of the criticism is from doing things at different times than my peers like we have the same time table for life. Criticism is worse when you have made changes and still can seem win with certain people. These people are make me feel like have apologize for being me, which no one should feel they should feel like have apologize for being themselves.
