Dear Natasha! Im new here. I found you after reading Graham Parduns conversation with you. I just ordered your book. I'm not a cryer but I feel the swell and wish I could open the door and let it flood in. After reading this I'm pretty sure I am an undiagnosed autistic. I took an online test a while back, which said I was, but people just sort of snickered. Can you please please pretty please suggest a place to start? I was diagnosed with CPTSD several years ago due to adult-onset anxiety. I have always been high-functioning and intelligent but now I am constantly dealing with my body's response to things. My guess is that I have been masking for so long and trying to function that my nerves have finally shouted, DONE! Thank you so much for your words.
