About me — Ines May

I’m a 27-year-old and I’ve recently joined medium. Here are a few things about me:

  • I’ve been writing since I was about 10 years old. I started writing diaries and then moved to write online.
  • I love reading. Some of my favorite authors are Patti Smith, Deborah Levi, Shirley Jackson, and Elena Ferrante. My favorite genres are memoirs and fiction, mostly written by women.
  • I’ve adored wildlife since I was a teenager and this leads me to Greece where I spent a couple of summers volunteering with sea turtles.
  • I am a veterinarian (and I have mixed feelings about that).
  • I am also a hostage to 3 cats. Send help.

The year everything changed

At the end of 2020, I started questioning a lot of things about myself. This started a quite exhausting and relieving process in which I was diagnosed with autism. At 27.

I started reading a lot of articles written by women who were also diagnosed with autism in adulthood in an attempt to better understand what was happening in my life. Some of these articles were on medium and that inspired me to join the platform and share my writings here.
