"Asking for help is a sign of strength." indeed! i used to be very scared of calling for support 'cause i worried that i'm going to be a burden 😔😔 it was until i got autistic burnout and not be able to express myself at all then i realized i can't do everything on my own and i need help.😢

Speaking as an anthropologist, I would strongly, STRONGLY advise you to start preserving physical media of things that are important to you, especially racially or queer focused media.
That means physical books, physical DVDs, and digital files stored locally.

Psychiatrists are discovering they’re autistic—and it’s making them better doctors. However, "many reported that before recognizing their own autism, they had difficulty identifying it in patients who were similar to themselves."
