'My Dearest You' by Tilly Greenland

You are autistic.

It’s why no-one makes sense. It’s why you feel like you don’t belong. It’s why you are an alien from another world, only visiting. Constantly learning acceptable social norms. Why nobody understands. 

You will learn to mask who you are, to pretend you are normal, live a lie. Eventually you will not know who you are; personality buried, a ghost behind the mask.

Don’t do it. Don’t allow them to kill your soul, decimate your spirit, destroy your very being. People will come and go, they won’t stay. Appeasing is easy, but the cost is too great.

Be free, be brave, be freak, be wonderful. Most importantly, be you.

With much love and thorough understanding
