As much as I am self-acceptance of my autism diagnose, I fall in the cycle occasional especially when I need help for something where my self-acceptance drop because people do not understand my diagnose. This definitely happen when I have to deal with certain parent because they do not understand my struggles with my diagnose. Those struggles get pushed aside because I function at what people perceptive to be a normal level because I do not just go having "meltdown" at drop of hat. That does not mean there are not thing I struggle with in normal, I have just learn to do those things in a way that does not mean meltdown. The struggle is still there but it is at a lesser value because I know how to handle it so to many people it does not exist.
While my version of self-acceptance has change since I started writing about these struggles instead of pretending that they do not exist. The internet has proven that more people will understand the struggles. People wonder my strength about talking about autism comes from because it is means that I might not be able to change the view of people in my life. Too many people think that if the struggle is invisible, it is not there. So in many writing about the struggle make sure that I does not actually have hide it. So if you are reading this book than you are allowing me to create more self-acceptance.
