Hello,

I wrote this little narrative piece, and edited this video, to commemorate this Christmas/New Year period, which is my first since realising I am autistic! On the surface, I am not sure this sounds like a big deal. After Christmas and adjusting back to 'routine' afterward, is stressful for everyone.

They say that the longer you go undiagnosed, the more of 'life lived' you have to look back on, reframe and forgive yourself for so cruelly misunderstanding and judging yourself.

So, here is a snapshot of three Christmasses of the past, hoping that in the future, I can live as myself, at full brightness.

Thank you guys,

Jen
