I contacted the Autism Counselor when I was looking for security and conversational support with an insider perspective. When we got in touch, I was in the middle of a severe autistic exhaustion and most of my life was rocking, both outside and inside, and I felt very alone.

This has made me more careful about my energy, better understand and accept my needs, boundaries, strengths and challenges and want to continue exploring and living more authentically.
