Thanks for your message.

Things in the UK, where I am from are a lot different to the US.  I don’t think that we treat Autism the same way that you do.

In response to your question, before 2021, I had not spoken to my sister in years.  However, the point I was trying to make was that my sister is a nurse, she has a degree in psychology and has worked with Autistic people previously, therefore, I felt that she should have some understanding of how my Autism effects me and be more compassionate and supporting of my needs instead of completely invalidating me.

I no longer need the support I felt that I needed when I first started this thread.
