Being an autistic individual can present a lot of challenges, and having a supportive community can make a massive difference. In this video, I share my personal journey, including the times I needed support before receiving my diagnosis and how finding the right community transformed my experience.

🔹 Why Community Matters:
Emotional and practical support
Shared experiences and understanding
Building lasting friendships and connections

🔹 My Personal Journey:
I talk about the struggles I faced before my diagnosis and how a lack of understanding impacted my life. From feeling isolated in social settings to experiencing anxiety and sensory overload, I needed support that I didn't know how to find.

🔹 Where to Look for Support:
Online Communities: Websites, forums, and Facebook groups specifically for autistic individuals.
Local Support Groups: Check out local autism organizations or community centers for in-person support groups and events. This isn't really my thing but could be really beneficial to some people so give it a go if your wondering about it! Let me know how it went if you do :)
Professional Support: Therapists, counselors, and autism specialists who can provide tailored advice and support.
Social Media: Follow and engage with autistic advocates and content creators on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and X.

🔹 Tips for Finding the Right Community:
Be open to exploring different groups until you find the right fit.
Don’t be afraid to reach out and introduce yourself.
Look for groups that align with your interests.
Prioritize spaces that are inclusive and respectful.
Remember, finding the right community can take time, but it’s worth the effort. You deserve to feel supported, understood and celebrated for who you are. 🌟
