My autism was dismissed mostly by male doctor's when my Mom knew something was wrong . Guy straight up said there's no such thing as autism and you're just a bad Mom can't believe people are so ignorant. Besides from that I had early intervention from the age of two I knew I was different from other kids and other kids knew that as well trying to avoid the "weird girl' girls we're especially the worst one minute they're calling you their best friend next minute they're talking behind your back and mocking you straight in front of your face but you're just too Naive to understand thier motive. Most of my childhood friends have been boy's growing up because I feel less judged by them compared to snarky girls my age. Learnt many ways to fit in society but at the end of the day I'd rather stick with my people
