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.

  • Can you not consider the 3hr train journey. Maybe weigh up the pros and cons?

    Something like this:

    Not going:

    • Worry :-(
    • Hassle from people :-(
    • exclusion from support group :-(
    • Not being believed. having to justify yourself all the time. frustrating :-(
    • the wrong support :-(
    • not having to go on the train for 3 hours :-)

    Going?

    • Not having to worry about it anymore :-)
    • a three hours train journey :-(
    • getting the correct support and understanding :-) :-)
    • not having to justify yourself all the time :-)

    maybe if someone did the journey with you? Do you have sensory issues that could be lessened with headphones? Play a game one the way to speed up the time. Travel durong quieter times. Stay the night in a hotel and travel back gthe next day so you can rest.

    good luck. :-)
