I just want to shout out all the older (40+) Autistic and Neurodivergent folks here. On most of the social media sites I'm on it seems to be nothing but teens to 20's so I don't get to see a lot of experiences and viewpoints from older ND's except here. It's really awesome to hear from you and see you making your way through life and know that you're the way you are still, and that life hasn't completely glued the mask on you and you still experience the joys and experiences and difficulties that us younger folks have in some ways. It gives me hope to know that I'm probably not going to just be increasingly camoflauging to be like neurotypical folks as I age and I can look forward to still living life my way, maybe even more so. You're important and appreciated. <3
