i am all over the place right now. the woman in charge of intake didnt fight me on me suspecting i have autism or adhd. in fact from our brief very brief interaction she agreed testing would be best. idk if that means i was right, or they just want my money. sigh im cynical i know.
i expressed my excitement in a fb group i really grown to love and one guy told me "whats so exciting about autism?" "whats so great about autism?"
those type of questions are hurtful, I'm not sure why I feel hurt, but I do. its almost like they are trying to deny me a potential diagnosis. or will me to not seek one like it would fundamentally change who i am. "oh nevermind, i see the errors of my ways not. Im not going to be autistic anymore. You are so right. toodles!" thats not how this works. if i have a label or not; self diagnosed or formally diagnosed. I am still not NT.
