In today's video I'm going to tell you about my very first psychiatrist appointment that I had recently. This is my first step towards hopefully getting a formal autism diagnosis. Remember, that self-diagnosis is valid and this is just what feels right for me :) Thank you for watching!

------------------------------
Hi and welcome! I’m Angelina. I’m a 24 year old self-diagnosed autistic. I realized that I’m on the spectrum a year ago and I’m currently in the process of seeking a formal diagnosis and finding my place in the world.
This is a space for me to share and categorize my thoughts and experiences as an autistic adult. I’m still in the process of understanding my life from an autistic perspective and learning to be myself. By sharing my experiences I wish to help those dealing with similar things as me feel less alone, as well as raise awareness and acceptance of autism, specifically females on the spectrum.
Let’s navigate life together!
