You know sometime I think I’m faking autism because I’m not officially diagnosed and the I have events like today where my meal swipe wasn’t working (I still got food) so I ate alone and cried to reset myself

Same, therapist (online) wants me to be tested but I just don’t have the money after being tested for ADHD (they couldn’t test me for autism then bc apparently it’s a different set up, and the facility had only seen me once). I wonder if I’m faking but I know the overstimulation is not something I’m faking as I didn’t know what it was and thought for a bit that I was just anxious until it got more painful and less of just a feeling off

same. i feel like when i ask its some weird taboo subject but my parents aren’t weird about other people with disabilities. i’m pretty sure i was diagnosed at 4 but an elementary school where i did social stuff and working on preparing to be in school said it was adhd and they aren’t even professionals but i was never re diagnosed

i feel the same, but i also am not sure if i want to seek a diagnosis at present with the current political climate. ive decided to allow myself to admit that i relate very heavily with the experiences of other women with autism. i feel less like im faking that way
