First appointment

Alien0n3arth

I'm not sure if I should post it in this section. I had my first appointment and feel very much validated and understood. Next appointment is on next Thursday. The diagnostician told me, she is sure that im autistic,  but for full report she needs to gather more information from me. She asked me about my past, about my day, she had to stop me from talking about aliens and space. I also showed her my comics and she liked it. She said its fascinating, but we gonna miss the diagnostic process. She also said, I don't show any signs of adhd, which was also shown in test that I sent her.

  • If you get your diagnosis, what then, I don’t want to wee on your bonfire but it doesn’t stop the issues/problems it may just give you a reason for them happening throughout your life.

    The times I’ve banged my head against the wall shouting” Get out of my f—-ing body” whatever it is. it’s like power rush inside you. 

    I would give anything to be born again not having to do the things I do and have done, doctors were useless in the 70s and 80s

    Some have a party and invite friends when they get diagnosed, I find that amazing, incredible 

    All the meetings I’ve been to, some saying it’s not a disorder Itsca difference, I can’t understand that at all

    I really sorry you feel that way. It must be so very painful.

    I've never experienced that, no matter how much I might regret how I look or feel. I've never wanted (like so many women) cosmetic surgery to change my body. I have had therapy in the past, but that was focussed on addressing certain problems in my relationships. Where I thought I was a bunch of failures in some things, my diagnoses came as relief that I'm just different. Having a reason was a relief, not a disaster.

    It must make things harder for you that so many of us embrace what we are.
