Late diagnosis or self-identification can bring up a whirlwind of emotions.

😔 Grief for a lifetime of feeling misunderstood and receiving no support.
😔 Anger for all the trauma that could have been avoided if only you'd known something so integral to your identity.
😔 Regret for what could have been.

🦋 But it also presents an opportunity to discover who you really are.

[ID: Against a blue background with the Reframing Autism logo at the top, there is a graphic of a person's head in the centre of a cycle of text boxes. The first reads, "OMG! Everything makes so much sense!" with an arrow to the next which reads "Oh, so this means they were mistreating me", with an arrow to the next, which reads "I'm so angry that no one picked it up until now!" with an arrow to the next which reads "Ok, so... if I'm not my mask, then who am I really?" with an arrow to the next which reads, "what if I allow myself to be more and more my true self?" with an arrow back to the first.]

Yesterday I had someone tell me that I was being condescending. It was a shock to read, because I thought I had simply answered the question they asked me.

It all came back to tone, and this person reading my words with a negative tone. None of my words were condescending. But if you read them in a negative, snarky way, then yes. They could definitely come across that way.

A good rule is to pay attention to our words and not our tone (in person). Online, just pay attention to our words and don’t assume there’s a tone there. Our words will tell you what we honestly mean.
