Hey There!

My name is Izzy. I am an 18 year old student and an advocate for both autism and mental health. 

Throughout my entire life I have struggled with my mental health which led me to being hospitalised at 15. I was diagnosed as autistic just before my 18th birthday and continue to struggle with anxiety. 

I began posting on Instagram about my experiences shortly after this, and discovered a whole online community of wonderful autistic people. I am incredibly grateful that so many people decided to follow me. I feel so honoured to be a part of such an inclusive and beautiful community. 

Since being diagnosed, autism has become my special interest. I have spent a large amount of time researching autism so that I can understand myself better and reflecting on my childhood. My blog and Instagram page are a collection of these findings and thoughts. 

Thank you for being apart of my journey and for supporting me as I learn to navigate this neurotypical world.
