I suck at maths and I'm terrible at sports; these are two things I've always told myself. I'm not creative, at least, not like some of the amazing artists of the Autisti-cat community here on YouTube. But, as we find out, such labels can be limiting. How? And Why? Watch the video!

If you have met one autistic (and or ADHD) person, you have met one person. This is a spectrum condition, and many traits may be different, or have alternative explanations for your symptoms. If in doubt, refer to a psychologist, and not a YouTuber.

Self-diagnosis is valid!
