So I was diagnosed as autistic 3 years ago by CAMHS, but I fit none of the criteria. I've looked at some autistic people talking about their experiences and traits, and I never find anything I relate to. I've looked at traits and diagnostic criteria online on many websites and nothing there fits me either. None of my friends think I'm autistic. The report I was given after my diagnosis consisted of things I have never experienced. It said that I "needed routine and get very distressed by changes", I have "lots of compulsions", I'm "really picky with food textures", I "don't know how to socialise", I "hate going new places and meeting new people" and a lot of other stuff that doesn't fit me at all. I really want this diagnosis removed, what's the best way to go about it?
