Autistic girl community on Sidechat | I’ve been struggling all my life to know what’s up with me. Was told it was adhd until two tests came back negative. Now my providers strongly suspect its actually autism and idk how I feel about it if it is. I’m scared of discrimination.

You almost never HAVE to disclose your autism. Just so you know :)

This happened to me as a kid. They thought I had ADHD and tried to give me meds but they never worked. Eventually got diagnosed with autism a few years later. They often get mixed up due to many overlapping/ similar symptoms As far as discrimination goes you just gotta stand up/ advocate for yourself. Never be afraid to express your needs and educate those around you. We may work a little bit differently but that dose not mean we should be treated differently. You got this queen 💪
