Sasha [They/Them]

I didn’t have an experience like this growing up, my family didn’t realise we were all autistic until I pointed it out earlier this year, and even then they weren’t really accepting of it lol.

Imo support has to include listening to what you want, otherwise it’s just controlling. Regardless of whatever support you have had, you’ve gained skills through your own efforts, no one can just give them to you. You deserve to feel good about that.

Handling family can suck, especially when they treat you like you’ve described, but things get easier when you have space away from them and live your one life. Them pushing you has helped you grow, I had to learn to push myself, which is a skill in its own right but it seems like you’re already doing it. Independence is hard to achieve and I think you’re doing a great job so far, keep it up.

There’s also a considerable portion of the world who hates Greta and is probably cheering them on. The first news story I saw pop up about Greta being kidnapped said Israel was doing the world a favour…
