  • Thank you for asking this. If I am being completely honest, I asked this to get a sense of whether I am “valid” because I am self identified too. The internalized imposter syndrome is strong with me. The toxic effect of this is that I project my own insecurity onto other self identified people sometimes and feel like I need to know the composition of the space to decide how “authentic” the expression of autism is there. I am fully aware it is an extremely harmful view to have, but I unfortunately do have it.
