just learned i have broad autism phenotype (BAP), also called subclinical autism. i’ve called myself autistic so many times because i was so sure that i’d get a full diagnosis, but now i feel like an imposter. BAP is not considered on the spectrum, right?

I don’t think enough of the ND community knows what that is to have an opinion on whether it qualifies as on the autism spectrum. I know what it is and I’m not sure what my own opinion is. Regardless of diagnosis, you should do the things that help you move the world easier.

eh like #1 i don’t think ppl, or at least those here, care that that much unless they see it as some competition only a few can win. yk yourself. ppl who seek physical diagnoses have instances where they’re frustrated bc their dr is saying they’re fine when they’re not yk. so idk i don’t think it’s wrong imo to see one other person bc maybe something just didn’t line up bc not every 1st time w anything does. but ofc promise not saying it like it’s easy
