So, apparently I don't have Autism

stranger

I was told this morning that I don't have Autism, I shouldn't be attending the Autism group (apparently, only people with a diagnosis can attend these - not what I've been told by the branch officer) and counselling will solve everything.

The person who told me this, hardly knows me and claims it's self esteem and confidence that need sorting out.

She's meant to be disability support.

  • Technically, you do not have autism until you are diagnosed, that is the reality of the situation but this does not mean you do not have autism, you may be just undiagnosed as yet. Strange one for me,, you have not got a diagnosis but believe you have autism ? Seems a weird situation to be in ? Hope you get it sort out soon as you could be suffering from a case of psuedoautism.
