The Sword of Damocles

Growing up mentally alone as an undiagnosed autistic child is like having a heavy Sword of Damocles hanging over you. You feel different and misunderstood by society. Even after being diagnosed late in life, the struggle doesn’t go away. Society’s lack of understanding makes things even harder, affecting relationships and daily life. But with more awareness and acceptance, we can make society a better place for autistic individuals.
