Confession #1: I’m a Mildly High Functioning Autistic and proud! I’m a Neurodivergent and proud! I’m a Mental Health Warrior and proud! I’m a Born Again Christian and proud! I’m a Evangelist and proud! I’m a Advocate and proud!

Confession #2: I used to be ashamed of the Stereotypes I experience as an Autistic. Idk exactly since what age, but pretty much since I was young I’ve engaged in performing Body Rocking and Head Banging (Which is mainly done in my room when I’m laying down in my bed listening to music on my phone, which is everyday at least 1-3 times) and Skin Picking (Which I do moderately, not frequently).

Confession #3: Call me a weirdo for my Stereotypes, and see how I react and stand my ground as a Autism Advocate and Christian (Romans 12:9-21, 1 Corinthians 10:24, Philippians 2:1-5 & 1 John 3:16-19).

Confession #4: If you make fun of me you also make fun of my friends who have Stereotypes too... And vice versa, if you make fun of them you also make fun of me (Proverbs 18:24, Proverbs 27:17 & Proverbs 31:9); Don’t look down on something you don’t understand, and don’t shame someone you don’t understand either!

Confession #5: I’m a Ambivert (Extroverted Introvert) and proud! Don’t call me Antisocial! Don’t accuse/assume I isolate! Don’t call me something I’m not! Don’t think you know me when you really don’t! Just saying! Just putting this out there for Awareness and Encouragement.

Confession #6: My 12 Environmental Triggers:

Certain loud noises (Mainly people shouting too loud, especially if at each other when near me; It raises my anxiety level and causes me to get a bad headache). People bullying or provoking me (Especially if they do it relentlessly). People bugging me for money or my food (Especially if they do it relentlessly). People looking at me as uncool or boring just because I can’t and don’t drive. People relentlessly trying to control my life. People relentlessly trying to get me to pursue a job place or position that I’m not/or wouldn’t be comfortable in. People forcing me to be friends with people who make me feel uncomfortable. Certain people touching me. People assuming I’m less Autistic or not Autistic at all, just because I’m High Functioning. People assuming I have 2 split personalities because I’m an Autistic and Christian. People calling me or any Neurodivergent the “R” word. People assuming I’m Antisocial rather than Introverted and Selectively Mute.
