“I’m not sure which is worse: intense feeling, or the absence of it.”
— Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
Happy autism awareness month to high needs autistic people. People who use AAC or sign language. People who don't communicate at all. Nonverbal and semi verbal autistics. People who got diagnosed early. People with developmental delays. Autistics who also have intellectual disabilities. Autistics who are also physically disabled. You are an important part of this community. I hope April treats you well.
“That’s how you can tell that you’re filling yourself with the wrong things. You use a lot of energy, and in the end, you feel emptier and less comfortable than ever.”
— Glennon Doyle Melton
Sometimes you might feel trapped into someone's mind games. Remember you don't have to play, you don't have to win, you don't have to prove yourself to someone so toxic. You can walk away. You can turn your back at them. Block them. Never respond to them. You can protect your mind, your emotions and your life from never ending games by not giving the other person attention. They are not deserving of the energy it takes you to play cat and mouse with them forever.
It’s not too late for you to start recovery! You have a whole community waiting to help you thrive. Reach out, you deserve to get better.
