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.

  • I think the quality of being a good non-judgemental listener and remaining impartial whilst giving support assistance is the key to a good autistic to NT care relationship. If the NT support is too clinical, taking a medical high ground, that is were problems arise as they just become false experts on someone else autistic experiences.
