Hi! To be honest this has really upset me!! Just today i was speaking with my friend about the trend of people being diagnosed with Autism in later life online. Lots of celebrities are doing this. I am a mum of 3 kids, with 2 on the Autistic spectrum. One of them being severe. If i was diagnosed now ,i would probably be labelled too, but i could cope just like you. As it was put to me one day ages back when my son was very young, by his therapist, that there is a bit of Autism in all of us, but its not till it impacts on us functioning in our everyday lives that its a problem. We have been so effected by Autism in our house, from our kids, to both me and my husband. Had to keep going though days i felt so broke. Only now are we seeing more light. I could not wish it on anyone. It is not something i take lightly or find easy even looking back on now. So when it is spoken about so frivilous i feel i have to say something. I don't mean to offend but i had to speak my mind when it affects me

I'm sorry that what I've spoken about here has upset you. I too, have seen the rise in more people being diagnosed later in life. I believe it's not so much of a trend as it is that understanding of neirodivergence is becoming more well known and as that awareness is growing, more people are realising that there might be answers to why they have personally struggled. I have heard many people (including therapists) also say "we're all a little bit on the spectrum" but I think that's just either a lack of education (we are all learning new things about autism daily) or perhaps a way to familiarise our experiences. Ie, we all experience similar things in life but when you're autistic, those experiences hit differently. I am certainly not offended by your comment. Your experience, like my own, is unique and with children on the spectrum, you have to deal with a lot more than I ever have. I appreciate your comment, and yours and other comments, help me to understand other people's experiences too.

You must not have listened to her whole video where she was talking about struggling with her day to day life. Autism is a spectrum and it impacts everyone differently. Why are you so bothered by people you don’t know being diagnosed. It doesn’t affect you in any way.

@@kristenmae6761 ,I'm guessing you want a fight like everyone online these days. It affects me daily. I spoke directly to the lady. Why is this effecting you. My issue was closed.
