I lost both my parents at 19. I’ve been
bullied and attacked for simply being
myself. After 13 years on social media,
I’ve found my voice. I’m not less than
anyone I just see the world differently.
Thank you for letting me be me here.

Being on the autism spectrum can
feel isolating. Seeing triumph over
hardship gives me hope and strength.

Kindness, courage, and
compassion aren’t wasted

I’ve faced bullying and loss, but stories of
resilience remind me pain doesn’t define me.

Back in my college days, around
2015/2016, I started off strong. My
first year went well, and I made my
mom so proud. But then life took an
unexpected turn. My mom passed
away from heart failure, and she
never got the chance to see the
achievements I worked so hard for.

Watching Dhar Mann videos on
YouTube really resonates with me. As
a young man with autism, I connect with
stories about trauma, bullying, and loss.
His messages inspire me and remind
me that challenges don’t define us.

Bluesky has given me
real friendships and real
connection. As an autistic
person, that’s been a lifeline.
No one should be made to
feel like kindness is “too much.”
Checking in isn’t a flaw.
Caring isn’t a burden.

Over the past month, I’ve realised
just how many huge strides I’ve
made since moving house. Things
that once felt impossible have slowly
become part of my everyday life,
and seeing that change in myself
has been emotional in the best way.

A few people asked about my kitchen,
so here are some pictures. It’s been
a big part of my progress this month.
Would love to know what you all think? 😊

I’ve been living in my new place
in England for just over a month now,
and I want to share something important.
For many people, these things might
seem small but for me, they’re huge,
and I’m really proud of myself.
