My loves, just over a week ago I told you that, at the height of her 52 years, actress Letícia Sabatella revealed that she was recently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), at level one. Therefore, in an interview with Fantástico, last night (17), the actress spoke about her late diagnosis and commented on the symptoms that perfectly fit her characteristics.
She, who has always been passionate about things, says that around the age of 9, all the girls at the school where she studied stopped talking to her and no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t understand why.
“When I was 9 years old, all the girls at school stopped talking to me because of my appearance. I didn’t understand why… I picked up every little thing, little stone… She fell in love with things. That nail had life”, began Letícia.
Soon after, Sabatella comments on his sensory hypersensitivity, such as touch and hearing, and reveals how these things affect his emotions.
“Mainly auditory. There are times when I feel sick, it feels like aggression. I really like the touch, but if someone keeps doing it like that (affection), I feel like saying: ‘Can you stop?… Everyone sees me. I am a very sensitive person. Hypersensitivity is a characteristic. Every time this happened (explosions), there were always strong triggers, tiredness, anxiety… These are situations in which I feel, in some way, unfairly understood, you know? But I wanted to not have reacted that way”, said the actress.
Always very studious, Letícia talks about some of the labels she has received throughout her life, due to this characteristic. “I was always studying and always majoring in something. It felt like I had to add and build myself. I have always been recognized in some way as a Pisces, an artist, a dreamer, a romantic, an idealist. Even in some more abusive situations like crazy, crazy.”
Finally, the actress says that every day she tries to understand even more about the subject and states that receiving her diagnosis gave her a feeling of freedom.
“I recognize that I am learning about this subject. I don’t know about him. I know about myself, very intuitively. That’s the value of a good diagnosis to pave your path, because a person who doesn’t know themselves is more susceptible to being oppressed… The feeling was truly liberating. I am in this flirtation of seeking a better understanding without any despair in relation to it”, concluded Sabatella
