PIP

Unsure

So, this morning I had a long PIP assessment call to discuss all the medical stuff that has gone on. So now I cant help but keep thinking about it and that I wouldnt have got across the whole situation. I know its no use second guessing, I'm usually paranoid anyway without thinking how the way they ask might be portayed. I had previously applied unsucessfully with medical conditions before the asd diagnosis. They arent here to see the anxiety and fatigue that that alone has caused. I've worked 40 yrs and dont think I'm a fraud.

  • ‘Don’t think I’m a fraud’ is telling. You are not a fraud, even though you feel like you are or that others will think it. We all worry about others disbelief in our condition largely because we have doubts ourselves. When we are diagnosed we know that we struggle but our perspective is twisted by what we can do or achieve. I always say to my family I’m the least autistic and they always reply ‘no, you’re the most’. Pursue PIP, fight for your rights. This is a neurotypical world but we shouldn’t have to put up with it.
