When my first counselor had me try Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, with emphasis on existentialism, it was so confusing it lied her to suspect I was autistic. So she had me assessed.
That’s how I found out I was autistic. Based solely on her hunch.
I am an autistic advocate, writer and presenter. My writing is primary source research material. "A leader leads. They don't walk away when someone needs help."
