Overcame My Autism and All I Got Were Anxiety Disorders
![Jese Leos](https://text.bccbooking.com/author/jack-butler.jpg)
As an autistic child growing up in the 1980s and early 1990s, I was often misunderstood and treated as an outcast. I struggled with social interactions, communication, and sensory processing. I was bullied relentlessly by my peers and had difficulty making friends. My parents, despite their love and support, didn't always know how to help me.
I felt isolated and alone, and I began to withdraw into myself. I lost interest in activities I once enjoyed and became increasingly anxious and depressed. By the time I was a teenager, I was experiencing full-blown panic attacks.
In high school, I was finally diagnosed with autism. This was a relief, as it finally gave me a name for what I had been experiencing all my life. However, the diagnosis also came with a lot of stigma and prejudice. Many people still believed that autism was a "disease" that could be "cured." I was told that I would never be able to live independently or have a successful career.

Despite these challenges, I was determined to prove everyone wrong. I worked hard in school and eventually went on to college and graduate school. I also learned to manage my anxiety and depression through therapy and medication.
After graduating from college, I started my own business and have been self-employed for over 10 years. I am also an active member of the autism community and I speak out about my experiences in Free Download to help others.
I am grateful for the progress that has been made in autism awareness and acceptance in recent years. However, there is still a long way to go. Many autistic people still face discrimination and prejudice. We need to continue to work towards a more inclusive and understanding society.
Here are some of the key themes explored in the book:
- The challenges of growing up with autism
- The stigma and prejudice associated with autism
- The importance of early diagnosis and intervention
- The role of therapy and medication in managing anxiety and depression
- The power of self-advocacy and self-acceptance
The book is written in a conversational and accessible style, and it is packed with practical tips and advice. It is a valuable resource for anyone who is struggling with autism and anxiety, or for anyone who wants to learn more about these conditions.
