Journey that feels Lonely

I think the hardest part through this entire process from the Autism to Gender Identity and Mental health has been the isolation.It’s the every new diagnosis becomes a sea of new feelings,new information,new research to understand everything.Maybe not everyone does this but,I dive into research to educate myself and each pathway leads to correlations and more information.The hard part is your constantly learning and want to share with other people only to realize if the other people aren’t living your experience they probably aren’t going to understand what your going through.Living is seeing and understanding,conversations that never seem to end because they are constantly changing and evolving.I wish I could sit down with someone who has no experience with Autism,mental health,gender identity,LGBTQIA identities and at the end of our sit down they understand but,that would require a completely open mind and heart free of biases and judgement and that’s not likely to be the result.People don’t tell you that Autism is also sensory issues to textures,smells,sounds etc balance and coordination issues,emotional regulation issues,eating issues,anxiety,depression,hygiene aversions and sensitivities,Gender not being black and white for Neurodiverse people.Learning issues,processing issues.No you get handed a Diagnosis and somehow are supposed to know that within one Diagnosis exists multiple other disorders and diagnoses that don’t even show up yet.I personally feel like I have been on a perpetual rollercoaster with no Brake.I can only hope by sharing my experiences here with others on similar journeys maybe it will help others looking for answers to understand.I will happily chat with anyone who needs it as well as continue to post external links and books I have found helpful.I also founded a LGBTQIA+ center with my kiddo all in the goal of helping them and others.
