Many autistic women spend years being misunderstood.
They're called "too sensitive," "perfectionists," or "difficult" - while the real reason goes unnoticed.
For many, eating disorders are treated without recognizing the underlying autistic nervous system.
A diagnosis doesn't define you. It can provide the missing piece that finally makes your experiences make sense.
Awareness leads to understanding. Understanding creates space for healing. 💙
