If you're in a comfortable position (like you're not endangering yourself somehow), you should totally share! Not everyone talks so openly as I do about my path to diagnosis and beyond. But someone has to. That gift of communication is what's allowed me to find the words to relate what's going in my bucking bronco of a brain. It's let me ask for what I need to thrive in society. It's helped me crush some pretty shitty misinformation and stereotypes.
