If what youâre about to read seems a bit personal of a story to share, admittedly sharing this does have me a little on edge. Bear with me. With April being National Autism Acceptance Month (Yes, you read that right, read on to learn more!), I feel like the time is right to share that I am on the Autism Spectrum.
I first sought five years ago to find out if I was when I noticed I had trouble staying focused on otherwise simple tasks at work, and have known all my life I have difficulty expressing my thoughts to others. I ended up going through several health organizations to identify it. Finally, I met with Dr. Becky Wolery of Insight Counseling in Payette last July, who zeroed in on my autism fairly easily. My twin brother is also autistic but functions more like Lennie in âOf Mice and Men,â so I think my diagnosis makes a lot of sense. Thank you, doctor!
