Today is my first #AutisticPrideDay - the first since my #Autism diagnosis. I now want to become the most authentic version of myself I can be. That isn’t pride, but it isn’t shame either. It’s #acceptance – the greatest sentiment we can offer ourselves, or any other human being.
Given it's #AutisticPrideDay on Sunday, this one seemed timely...

Sunday 18 June is my first #Autistic PrideDay because it’s the first since I was diagnosed #Autistic . But right at this moment I don’t feel particularly proud. In fact, my overwhelming feeling is relief. Find out why in the blog post: theunmaskedautistic.com/autistic-pride…

This is what #AutisticBurnoutRecovery looked like today when I made my first ever trip to a local patisserie for coffee and cake with my wife. Mmmm delicious recovery. Needless to say, we will be back! 😃
Nobody thought my application to the #NDIS for support funding would be successful because my #Autism Diagnosis came out at level 1. But then the NDIS approved it. I outline why in this post. bit.ly/3J3RTyW
