My brother and I are on the spectrum and have struggled during our lives, mostly due to our parents not fully understanding how to raise autistic children. Though I had both academic and social issues growing up, I've fortunately been able to self-teach myself at a decent level and have been successful in my education, unfortunately I can't say the same for my brother, who suffers way more from his condition. All throughout my childhood I've had to watch as this poor kid, who even now can barely speak a full sentence in his teens, grew up without the proper care he needed. As for me, for most of my primary education I was outcasted and mocked, online I saw myself getting groomed twice, I still live with the pain and misery I've lived through and only as of recently have I begun to truly live life in my own way, my girlfriend of three years has done a tremendous job of supporting me and helping me get away from my terrible household. I'm still facing challenges thanks to the state my parents left me in and the hardships my condition bring me, but it truly has been nothing but growth since I moved out and I couldn't be happier to be where I am now.
