I don’t understand diagnosing and I’m scared of this happening to me bc like there’s SO MUCH what if I forget to mention everything? how could they possibly ask questions to figure out every single symptom you have?? That’s why I have a massive list in my phone and 500 videos saved to a playlist called “for psych” on youtube that I’ll probably end up never actually showing anyone or doing anything w lmao

want to add here as someone who was diagnosed with ASD-1 that autism is a spectrum but NOT from less to more (although there is a distinction between function). it’s more like pie chart. the symptoms you have may be something else similar. or they could be wrong. I was misdiagnosed before getting an actual diagnosis at 16, I empathize with you and hope things work out for you. 🫶

neurodivergence is very tricky. A label helps people understand how they can learn things best and what strategies they may need to use daily to improve the quality of life. without a label it feels very lonely and helpless. hope this helps 👍

Speak for yourself, dipshit. Just because it can make certain things harder for some people doesn’t mean you should try to avoid it entirely like that, especially when you consider how many things autistic people are naturally better at than allistic people
