The post How I’ve Felt Since I Learned I’m Autistic + My Finished ‘Zine! | The Artsy Autistic Vlog #3 appeared first on Cindy Ingram | Artist. Coach. Creative Soul Guide..

My recent self-realization of autism has me reeling with many emotions, but I’ve finally hit a more euphoric, curious feeling after a few days of struggle. The feeling is not unlike how it feels when I get a brilliant idea in the middle of the night about a work of art or writing that I’ve been processing.

On this quest to find the perfect word for this wild transformative thing going on, my husband throws in “epiphany,” and I’m like, “Yes Epiphany!”

Such a good word.

That’s what it is. I’m living in epiphany—noticing all the things about my autistic family, how my brain works, and thinking of a flood of examples from my whole life that can now be explained with this one word, autism.
