10. Rebuilding my Self-Esteem as a Late Diagnosed Autistic
Update: 2024-07-01
Description
My life has changed for the better due to entering my thirties and understanding my brain more (autism). I'v begun the process of building authentic self-esteem and discuss this in depth. Namely:
- The tenets of improved self esteem
- Tools to reframe self care if you’re struggling to take your needs seriously
- Putting respeck on your name: not diminishing your talents
- When is self deprecation appropriate
- Disassociation as a coping mechanism
- Learning what boundaries are and tuning to my needs
- Parentification, Codependence and Emotional incest
- Sexual advocacy
- How autism has shifted my personal style
- Getting better at self advocacy
- Trusting my intuition
- Rejecting the idea of ‘coming out’
- The guilt of prioritising my needs
