You’ve got this kid

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Hey you,

I know things feel overwhelming right now. You’re trying so hard to make sense of a world that doesn’t always make sense back. But trust me—life gets better. 

You grow into yourself in ways you can’t imagine yet. You find language for things that have felt confusing for years.

And here’s the part no one tells you: you’re autistic. You won’t learn that until much later, but when you do, everything finally clicks. It’s not a flaw. It’s not something to fix. It’s simply who you are—and it’s why you see the world the way you do. 

Hang in there. You’re going to be okay. More than okay, actually.

About Bob W Christian

I’m Bob Christian; a husband, father, grandfather and cat dad. I’m a dyslexic poet. I am on the Autism Spectrum and I started writing poetry, or scribbles as I’ve always referred to them, to help me to process my thoughts and emotions. It’s also helped with my PTSD. It’s gone from there and after over 20 years is still going strong, I’m now finally dabbling in to photography as I’ve been told I have a good eye.
