It is Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and today marks a new era for Autism Awareness that includes *all* age groups *and* support needs.
• It has been 5 years since I was diagnosed as autistic on August 29, 2019. This was so late into adulthood, at age 37, that it ruined* my socioeconomic development. Neither of the two mental healthcare providers I had accommodated it.
• It has been 2 years since I discovered that autism was #neurological and therefore a constant, integral influence in my life. Not something that is ever* outgrown. I refer to this as ‘actual’ awareness.
• It has been almost 1 year since I uncovered the disruptive #PTSD #trauma of my late diagnosis from 2019. I haven’t been the same since. Just check out My Holiday #JournalingExperiment . I refer to this as ‘serious’ awareness.
• It has been only 2 months since I was abruptly discharged from all mental health services by my care provider in a move that was #discriminatory and incredibly disruptive to my mental health. I refer this as ‘unacceptable’.

I am 42 years old, and I was always autistic. If not identified or accommodated soon enough, we will suffer. We will drift apart from a society that can benefit as much from our having a fulfilling life as what we can contribute in our lifetime. Autism is not outgrown after 18!
This tweet is to raise awareness of adult support needs by letting my actions speak for themselves: #AutisticChronophobiaTheory , #MonotropismEmploymentTheory , #AutismAdvocacy Series, #AutismAccommodation Series. It is time to prioritize the changes we need. It is time to advocate for them so future generations don’t have to suffer as we have.

Receiving mixed messages is torturous for me as an Autistic person. Whilst it can obviously be painful for anyone to receive mixed messages, it can be 10x worse when your brain is prone to analysing things deeply, connecting dots, spotting patterns and predicting the future.
