In mid 2016, I was diagnosed with ASD (Aspergers). I have gotten this tattoo to raise awareness of ASD and I have also done this so I can raise money and tell my story.

I would like to raise money for The National Autistic Society, to highlight the charity and to raise some money would be awesome!

In Jan 2016 I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia, but then in the August Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

For anyone who doesn't know diagnosis is made by a specialist team using in-depth assessments and is a long stressful process.

ASD is an incurable, lifelong developmental condition that affects how I and others with ASD perceive the world and interact, I knew I had a big issue all along but this has taken me a long while to feel acceptance off.

1 in every 100 people in the UK has ASD and it affects more boys than girls and each of us affected in different ways.

ASD includes Asperger's syndrome which is a form of autism which may also affect the way a person communicates and relates to other people. People with Asperger's syndrome may experience challenges such as specific learning difficulties as I do with Dyspraxia, anxiety or other conditions.

It's time to come clean so everyone can understand me better and don’t judge.

But I can raise money for my charity and I want to raise some awareness and understanding into Autism. As you can see I had a Tattoo done and we all know how soft I am so I am asking if you can support me and my Tattoo with a quid or two. I had this tattoo done in acceptance of my ASD I want to raise £500 and I have a special reason why that amount is important but that's for another day.
