I was diagnosed with Autism at the ripe old age of 33. When I told my parents about it, my mum lost her mind because I was actually diagnosed at 7, she just never told me in hopes I will be "normal" and thought she got away with it.

😳 she lost her mind?!
Or in the sense of guilt?
I can only imagine the anger that would trigger in Me learning that like you did.

My parents just don’t understand it… (while dealing themselves with it thinking it is how everyone is)

They learned to live with it in a healthy way, without knowing or acknowledging it…
