"Asking for help is a sign of strength." indeed! i used to be very scared of calling for support 'cause i worried that i'm going to be a burden ๐๐ it was until i got autistic burnout and not be able to express myself at all then i realized i can't do everything on my own and i need help.๐ข

really resonate with stimpunk's spirit - "The place where we belong does not exist. We will build it." this is what i want to do, keep on learning so i can help building supportive place for autists like me in vietnam. i'm broke so i cant donate now, sharing this so it may reach people who can help
