Me and Autism ā¤ļøšŸ’«

Wednesday 25th Mar
I'm walking 10,000 steps a day every day from the 26th March - 2nd of April to raise money for the Autism Society. I'm aiming to raise Ā£500 for this cause that means a lot to me. Read my story down below šŸ‘‡Ā 

Iā€™m walking for a cause thatā€™s been with me my whole life: autism. After years of being misunderstood, I was finally diagnosed at 14ā€”and it truly changed everything for me.Ā 

Growing up, I was bullied throughout primary and secondary school. I was told my meltdowns and burnout were just because I was ā€œtoo quietā€ or being bullied, but that wasnā€™t the full story. Every day, I was masking for hours, trying to fit in and not understanding why no oneā€”even professionalsā€”could see what I was going through. There simply wasnā€™t enough awareness about autistic girls.

Getting diagnosed brought both relief and confusion. I had only ever seen autism represented in boys, so I struggled to understand where I fit. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m walkingā€”to show that autism looks different for everyone, and we canā€™t all be placed into one box.

My teenage years and early adulthood were incredibly tough. I struggled with my mental health, missed school, lost friendships, and often felt isolated due to burnout and not fully understanding myself. While I still have difficult days, Iā€™m in a much better place now after taking the time to learn what I need.

I only wish autism had been talked about more when I was younger. Thereā€™s more awareness now, but thereā€™s still a long way to goā€”especially when itā€™s still used as an insult.

For a long time, I hid my diagnosis out of fear of judgment. I even had people think it was a disease. But Iā€™m done hiding. Iā€™m proud of who I amā€”bright, bubbly, and unapologetically myself.

After struggling through college, jobs, and relationships, Iā€™ve finally found a career, being a lash and brow beautician and makeup artist. Makeup I've always loved but lashes and brows is a new skill for me, which I'm really enjoying. As I'm such a perfectionist it allows me to use those skills as well as being an emotional and compassionate person to connect with clients and leave with them feeling amazing!!Ā 

A loving group friends, who like me some of them are neuro spicy and super cool. As well as an absolutely amazing partner who truly accepts me. Every day he is patient with me and allows me to be myself.Ā  Iā€™m just Annaā€”and thatā€™s enough.

To everyone who knows me, supports me, or has made me feel like me ā€”thank you! ā˜ŗļø

My autism isn't my weakness anymore - it's my superpower and just who I am šŸ«¶

And to anyone who can donate, big or small, I truly appreciate it. ā¤ļø

Thank you to my donors
