Not sure if this belongs in this section, but I don’t have anyone else to speak to about this! I have suspected I have Autism for many many years now but like many, my mum doesn’t believe in ‘labels’ (despite being a psychiatric nurse!). My family and partner all agree I have quite a few autistic traits and I have recently put myself forward for a diagnosis which I’m still waiting for. It would explain so so much to me, like why I always felt ‘different’ or ‘weird’ to my peers. However every time I say something about it, for instance a tweet about someone who got diagnosed and their constant fatigue made sense to them (I have been struggling with this since early teens), it’s shrugged off as ‘well that’s normal, that could mean anything, loads of people feel that way’. It’s just really disheartening and makes me feel as if I’m just label or attention seeking. Apologies for the mini rant, just feeling alone and not sure what to do
