The Reality of Labels
Even though we don't like labels, the reality is that labels exist. At times, the stigma of these labels hurts us as we move through life. And this is why many of us mask.
I received a late diagnosis of Asperger’s (a part of Autism Spectrum Disorder). Wanna know what it’s like to be me with no regrets?
I often have challenges with social interaction, understanding non-verbal cues, and adapting to change. I have an intense focus on specific interests, sensory sensitivities, and literal interpretation of language.
My intelligence ranges from average to above-average, depending on the subject matter.
At times, I may struggle with small talk, making friends, understanding sarcasm, and maintaining routines; However, I do possess strong attention to detail and deep knowledge in my areas of passion.
Now that I am aware and have accepted this label, through the Grace of God, I am better able to work through my challenges with the proper tools and resources and thrive on my strengths.
