Sarma Melngailis Instagram – Article on @people about a recent diagnosis. Link in my bio. More to say on this but grateful to all the kind humans who reached out asking me about something that had never occurred to me yet now makes a lot of things… make more sense, and feels like a relief to know, and understand. Thanks @dbacherwrites 💓. The recent photos in the article were taken by my friend @wouldntitbecool who also pointed out that I’m wearing his sweatshirt in the pic taken when I was 13–that’s how long we’ve been friends. 🙂 Thanks also to Dr Mitchell. 💓✨ I think I’m also just relieved to feel less awkward about being awkward. 😬🤪 Also not entirely sure why the Asperger’s term was retired, I like the term “Aspie” … and am sensitive to the fact that my high functioning variation of symptoms isn’t anything like the more severe autism. Don’t want it to seem like I’m looking for sympathy or anything at all… I did the interview bc I want this to help others. Especially as it’s very different for girls/women and historically highly undiagnosed. 💓🙏🏻✨
