i have fully accepted it. theres no doubt at all in my mind. i kinda figured it out when other autistic people kept suggesting it, but i believed it once i really learned what it is from the lived experiences of other autists. everything i heard was like "yup thats me". it was just nice to finally know some of whats going on with me and get a better understanding of myself. i dont need to look for proof because the proof is written in bold flashing letters on my life every single day.
