“I felt like something was wrong with me, and I wanted to find out what was wrong. But I come to find out nothing was wrong. It was autism.”
For years, Amber Borzotra felt as if she had been “misdiagnosed," she says. The star of MTV's"The Challenge" had anxiety and depression but thought something “deeper” was going on and searched for what it could be. Recently, she learned what it was — Borzotra has autism.
“It’s about finally being myself and understanding there’s nothing wrong, and I’m an amazing person and I’m a beautiful person inside,” she says. “I can’t let society dictate or make me feel any lower than I was once feeling.” Not only is Borzotra learning more about the autism community but she’s also taking time in “learning me.”
Borzotra believes myths and negative ideas about autism persist, and she wants more people to take time to learn more about autism and neurodivergent conditions. “I’m OK sharing my story and I’d much rather help those … who want to share theirs, as well, or bring more awareness,” she says. “I’m hoping that I can make others feel the same way and have a beautiful experience in the end like I did.”
