I appreciate those who helped me put this film togetner.
Definitely One of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I am glad I am able to spread a light to you guys. Mental health is something that is very important to me. I’ve been dealing with mental health and mental illness since a voung age from Going from doctor to doctor.. mom trying to understand what was wrong with me.. from being diagnosed with FASD (Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder) and OCD at a young age and then being seen by more doctors telling me I could have schizophrenia.. to actually being then diagnosed with Autism.. which has been something my mom and I explored since childhood which all have been embarrassing to open up about.. and unmasking and masking over and over. everyone telling me I’m slow, retarded, low IQ.. (I can’t spell)
“what’s wrong with aaron?” but blocking it out of my head.. it all has have been taken a big toll on my life.. ( more recently then ever). Having trouble to figure out how to really express myself which seems impossible for me... being told to act a certain way.. always being scared to mess up.. or say something wrong.. always feeling like knew how to talk but hard to get out what i actually wanna say.. teachers telling mom my communication was the biggest problem for me as a child. Going in and out of speech therapy.. But seems it got better but worse as I grew older.. and having trouble showing who I am.. in 2021 something happened.. my mental health got very very bad. I felt like literally giving up.. In this film I hope to bring only positive things and a light to help others who deal with mental health problems or disabilities and to understand vou’re not alone.. I thought it was the end of me.. I always wanna be open and honest.. and help spread awareness to the best of my abilities. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #autism #autismawareness #ocd #anxiety - filmed and directed by @diablosolalinde by Bella and Elle Media
