... just reading through a SARS release of my MH records..
Anyone else done this?
The degree to which they have failed to understand or recognise an Aspie, when she is right in front of them is staggering in 2019,. I have to forgive the ignorance regardless But in the absence of understanding the readiness to blame and misdiagnosed me and then hide that from me, is really quite unforgivable.
So much hidden under guise of "therapeutic privelege" . Dear God! No wonder that never went well!
I can never trust them again. But, I will fight for something better for others.
My mental health isn't at its best right now. I can't turn to my parents for support, they don't understand and last told me that I need to pull myself together. Very unhelpful.
Professionals are ok. I do it all in secret don't want my parents knowing. I'd never hear the end of it. The professionals are ok but whenever I mention the possibility of autism they completely ignore it. I know I'm not diagnosed yet but I think I will be soon and it will come out that I'm autistic, but the professionals aren't even weighing it as an option.
Very confusing for me. I wish I had more people to talk to about it in my life.
You might want to see the live stream 'Spectrum live' which this website broadcast today. It was all about reasonable adjustments in therapy for autism. The professionals should know that your autism will affect your therapy. I start really pushing the point that you feel they need to respond to you 'as if' while you wait. You can wait an age, getting no support, or inappropriate support and sometimes if they don't account for your autism. The support you get can even be counter productive.
