My mum does not accept my aspergers diagnosis

She said to me today that Drs and psychologists have spun whatever I have said to them into a condition and then convinced me I have that condition. She believes it’s all a scam and that the doctors are funded by big pharma to give people labels so they would have customers for their drug products.  She said that if I had paid her to diagnose me with dyslexia for example, she’d take the money and give me the label of dyslexic.

She says that my exhaustion following the situation of trying to work in a (probably normally) noisy office was normal. I literally could not think earlier today and couldn’t do my job until I felt a bit better (2hrs later). 

Has anyone else successfully dealt with situations like these?

Parents
  • Hello yes I have experienced this and is horrible when you don’t receive family support, my parents split up whilst being young, but only got diagnosed at my later stages, my Dads family think it’s a load of rubbish I have this label too, they think my Mum planned it to get benefits from me, to solve the problem I got on my two feet and work instead of getting benefits, also the positive note I feel more independent and happier knowing you can do anything you put your mind too with or without a learning difficulty. 

    Some days I struggle or get paranoid but on the upper hand I’m proud of earning my coin like normal people and don’t feel guilty receiving benefits even I may be entitled to them. I will never know the truth if my label is done fake or I have a struggle, but all you can do is only try your best and if the outcome is good, be proud of yourself that you have achieved something in life, an I’m sorry your Mum is unsupportive with you and go find support somewhere who does believe your label, an don’t let anything make you feel unhappy or pull you down with Aspergers it not, go out and live your life with your head up and just for the peace go to the doctors with your Mum and go speak to your GP with your Mum in front of them to explain if she’s struggling to get intelligence IQ, the GP will give her an understanding and open up about the specialists who know about neurological and development disorders!!!!!!!!!

    Hope you start to look positive and don’t limit things with Aspergers, if you feel happy to learn to drive, you want to work, own your business, be a film actress or what ever your dream go fulfil it cause your no different then anyone else except all you have is a development disorder which can be rectified with support teachers or help with someone you trust to get you back on the right path. Keep your head up girl and know you will be fantastic.
