Children growing up learning about neurodiversity at school makes me so emotional. Neurodivergent kids being given language to describe their experiences and their peers being educated to help them understand. We didn’t have this growing up.
@ItsEmilyKaty I still have every card from every single person I’ve received a card from. I can’t throw them away even Christmas cards from peers in school etc because of this fear.
I was sectioned on a children’s mental health unit when I was 16. I was undiagnosed autistic. My daily meltdowns were interpreted as ‘hysterical attacks when she does not get her own way’. I was labelled with a personality disorder. And left traumatised. #Dispatches
It’s international OCD awareness week.
This illness had me suicidal to the point that I self admitted to hospital for months in 2016.
It is unrelenting torture to endure.
It is constant effort, pain and work to manage.
It is deeply misunderstood and stigmatised.
