Here's Today's Feel-Good:
Happy Adult Autism Awareness Day! Celebrated annually, today is meant to shine a light on adults that have autism and the challenges that they face. By placing our focus on this, we can help promote a deeper understanding as well as acceptance of those that are neurodivergent across the world!
It’s estimated that up to 80% of autistic women are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. I’ve done a deep dive on neurodivergence and autism the past couple years. There are many exceptional books on the market right now, written by adult diagnosed autistic psychologists. A couple of my favorite content creators on youtube are psychologists Kim Sage and Julie Bjelland – both realized they were autistic later in life.
If you’re questioning that you may be neurodivergent, I know you’d find their content insightful and helpful.
Dr Julie Bjelland even offers a "free autism quiz for the sensitive" here: https://www.juliebjelland.com/autism-quiz
