Good, weaponize that autism. That is how I found out I was being abused as well, by documenting and finding patterns, then sharing them with a close and trusted friend, in part because my ex abused me so much and for so long, I lost every shred of self confidence, so I wasn’t even trusting my own mind.

We are not broken, we are just different. And we got to play to our strengths. I am truly proud of you and no matter what others might tell you, this is growth.
