My fiance, her brothers, and my brother have Aspergers, but I don't.
Appearently I was diagnosed with ADD like 10 or 11 years ago but I don't think it's as simple as that. I probably can't be checked by a professional though because my parents get annoyed by that stuff. :/
hi i got my diagnosis 2day am i allowed into the club now
i was supposed to get it like a week ago but the doctor was sick so it ws postponed to today instead ayyy
in sweden we still have different diagnoses for autism, aspergers etc (it will be changed in a few years to just autism spectrum disorder, since it is a spectrum and fuctioning labels etc arent rly Great) n i got the diagnosis "atypisk autism" which seems 2 b the old PDD-NOS or atypical autism diagnosis in english (correct me if im wrong but yeah :^) )
anyways i fit most of the criteria 4 an autism diagnosis but my therapist and doctor didnt think i really fit the criteria with wanting 2 do the same thing every day or w/e n the special interest stuff (which i kind of ddisagree on because i definitely have had special interests for as long as i can remember, i just haven't had the need to talk about them that much But Whatever)
so hi im autistic wassuuuuuuuup
this entire forum
ya ur 100% autistic
Congrats for being autistic
Why though? I am not diagnosed but its symptoms doesn't seem fun to have to deal.thx im rly proud :^^^^^)
Why though? I am not diagnosed but its symptoms doesn't seem fun to have to deal.
i ws kind of beign sarcastic but i mean
autism isnt something 2 b ashamed of, like it's just part of who i am like.... it beign a part of me doesn't mean that i have to be proud of it, but i don't think there's any reason to hate myself or my autism? Like, when I was younger I'd hate hate hate my symptoms, myself and my social sht so much. now i'm over it because honestly it's not my fault n imo there's nothing wrong with me because im autistic, i just have it more difficult with certain things than other people!! and that's not something 2 be ashamed of. and being autistic has it pros too ??
sure it's not fun to deal w it all the time but usually whenevr something bad happens because im autistic it usually isn't because i'm autistic, but because of the area around me (Like, if a child is being super loud and screaming in public and i'm like dying because of sensory issues i blame the baby and not my autism lmao do u gt what i mean?? like i don't direct that negativity at myself or my autism because that just leads 2 self hatred and internalised ablesim :^) )
The argument ended 2 weeks ago.I'm not getting involved in the whole argument but I just want to say that there's a whole spectrum so it's not as straight forward as just giving someone an instant label.
