Why Autistic People Get Irritable (It’s Not What You Think)

Hi there, I'm Elena! I was diagnosed with autism at 25, and ever since, I've been piecing my life together. My videos are a space for late-diagnosed individuals navigating their own journeys 🌈 Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about irritability and how often autistic overwhelm gets mistaken for being “too sensitive,” moody, or difficult. For so much of my life, I judged myself for how reactive I could feel, without realising my nervous system was already overloaded. In this video, I wanted to talk honestly about autism, overstimulation, burnout, and the emotional side of constantly pushing through life feeling misunderstood.
