I was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD around 9-10 years ago and have gotten plenty of support (therapists, social/support worker, etc) but my parents still don't seem to comprehend what my being autistic actually means... for example, I just can't cope with certain sounds and I can't have a shower without washing my hair but no matter how hard I try, they won't believe me when I tell them and when I provide proof from sites on the subject, I'm hit with "don't believe everything you read on the internet."
