On being female, and autistic. Yet another example of women not being treated well by the medical system.
"When I was growing up, I was as unkind to myself as other people often were to me: I called myself evil, cold, weird. I internalized the worst things anyone could say because I believed them. Looking back at that child now, and that disruptive teenager, I just want her to know that she is loved. I see her staring so intently at her books or her train set or her Game Boy and I wish I could tell her that she’s autistic — and that it isn’t only OK, but good."
I think feelings like that are not uncommon in males and neuro-typical people. There’s a lot of emotional trauma out there. And yes, the medical system, like seemingly all our social systems, seems designed to better serve men than women. Self acceptance, or self appreciation, is a concept not entirely supported in a consumerist capitalistic fear-based society.
