Bear with me on this, it is relevant to autism. It's #WorldGothDay so here's a few pics that I shared on social media of me from my goth days. Of course now I know that my goth "phase" was actually a search for identity before I even knew anything about autism. All I knew was that I was different from other people so I tried to express that in a more visible and obvious way. Now I know I'm autistic I'm much more comfortable in my identity and I don't feel the need to wear nail varnish, eyeliner or unusual clothes any more.
Let us know if you've been through any similar stages prior to diagnosis, or maybe even while trying to accept your autism whether diagnosed or not? It'll be interesting to see if this is just a me thing.
