I haven't been around for 6 months, so please forgive me if I am rusty at this. I want nothing more than to be back sooner than later, but...health anxieties have the better of me, unfortunately. The video is from a request in which someone discussed how telling others about your late diagnosis of Autism...that the way they respond matters. This took a while for me to understand, and didn't want to cover the topic until I could try to do it justice...which hopefully even if I haven't, I can at least wish to have scratched the surface. If I could have my time over, I would absolutely change the way I let people know about my late Autism diagnosis. It was a moment more important that I realised at the time, and people will face this if they are late diagnosed. Knowing the reasons you need the right response from the right people is always worth bearing in mind. 0:00 Intro / Why I Haven't Been Around 4:23 Reason for Video 6:40 Masking 9:31 Telling Others - Bad Example 10:36 Telling Others - Good Example 13:22 - Reasons for Late Autism Diagnosis 20:55 - Feeling of a Negative Reaction 25:04 Free Time vs. Recharge Time 26:41 - Consequences of the Wrong Response 27:36 In Closing *||PATREON ||* Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ADULTWITHAUTISM *|| SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL ||* Paypal: https://paypal.me/AdultwithAutism Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/adultwithautism Wishlist: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/adultwithautism/wishlist T-Shirts: https://www.redbubble.com/people/adultwithautism/ *|| SOCIAL ||* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adultwithautism Twitter: https://twitter.com/Adult_w_Autism ***NOT ON ANY OTHER FORM OF SOCIAL MEDIA*** *|| LINKS ||* (My music) Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/adultwithautism (Audio version of the channel) Audio Podcast: https://adultwithautism.podbean.com *|| OTHER ||* For enquires: oldandautistic@gmail.com ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBvocVwdbVA

I've wanted to do videos on news topics for a long time, then this one came around. Ian Fenn who has Autism has an assistance cat called Chloe, and Sainsburys refused to allow the cat in the store. Ian Fenn is now suing Sainsburys due to discrimination. Please note, I am allowed an opinion, just as you are. If you disagree that's fine.
