Love my social worker but wtf is this 🙃
I was recently diagnosed with autism. My social worker has helped me so much, and she’s also the person who helped me with my assessment. She is the best, she honestly saved my life, but i can’t help but feel disappointed by her Christmas gift this year. She’s just trying to be supportive, and i love things related to autism, just not with the puzzle piece (for obvious reasons). I managed to tell her that the puzzle piece is harmful and not the symbol of autism anymore, she said she didn’t know. I know she didn’t know better. It’s still a bit disappointing though. I feel awful for not appreciating her gift more, but there is just no way i can use any of this 😕 I am going through autistic burnout, things are rough and exhausting, this was not what i needed right now.
