Autimars is a self given nickname (don't judge me lol) that stands for Autistic Martian.

The way I feel inside has never truly been reflected on the outside. I've always felt like an alien compared to my peers, which caused paralyzing anxiety. Throughout my youth I "masked" my tendencies that I saw others being ridiculed for. Over time, I had resisted myself so much that I didn't even know what actually made me happy.

Just before turning 26, I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in April 2021. The answer I had been seeking after 3 years, 5 doctors, and 4 misdiagnones (and since I have memories). Since has been the most enlightening year+ of my entire life. I hope to guide anyone toward the opportunities I've had in feeling comfortable in my own skin.
