This fall marks 1 year since I received my informal autism diagnosis. Preceded by a self-diagnosis. Followed by a formal diagnosis. It was a long flawed process in need of updating. IMO. I am a middle aged man. Not a 5 year old. And its a both and I recognise access to a diagnosis is a privilege many do not enjoy. Lets just say it was a shock. But not a surprise (sic).
The 49 year old actor continued There is a now familiar cultural narrative in which I have participated that goes Public figure shares A B and C publicly, dedicates platform to D E and F. Good for them. And its a both and thats not necessarily what's going to happen here. I do not know enough about autism. Theres a lot to know. Right now my work looks like evolving my understanding. Re examining 5 decades of lived experience thru a new lens. That will take time .
