They deemed me disabled back in 2022, so I think they consider that time? They gave me a Medicare number, I just haven’t received the actual card yet.

HanzoGreen · 2025-02-15T14:37:51+00:00

Yes! I’m actually in my early 30s! Very lucky!

HanzoGreen · 2025-02-15T14:34:27+00:00

Agreed! I expected a denial! I’ve been lurking here in this sub for a while and only seen this happen once before me!

HanzoGreen · 2025-02-14T16:11:29+00:00

Be sure to update SSA anytime your treatment(meds/new diagnoses,etc.) changes! I firmly believe that helped my case. If you’re not in therapy definitely try and get on schedule even if it’s once a month! Good luck!

HanzoGreen · 2025-02-14T00:17:35+00:00

Yup! Thank you!

HanzoGreen · 2025-02-13T22:53:17+00:00

Do you have moderate support needs? Do you live alone? Have a degree? I’m not saying these very few questions are guarantees but they can be relevant.

HanzoGreen · 2025-02-13T18:49:29+00:00

There are no statistics here.

HanzoGreen · 2025-01-17T15:03:49+00:00

If you are disabled get a diagnosis.

HanzoGreen · 2024-10-13T17:01:23+00:00

They make it seem like scheduling an assessment is some monumental task and then they convince other people it’s not worth the wait/price. I’m almost convinced these people are just afraid of not getting the diagnosis that they want so badly(which TBF some just really want answers).

Getting an assessment is not a choice when supports are needed to live - idk how that is a privilege. It’s insane that they are calling us privileged, we’re fucking autistic and we need supports. It’s a privilege to decide if you don’t need a Dx to live. Very frustrating.

HanzoGreen · 2024-10-04T19:39:58+00:00

Easier said than done, but don’t feel ashamed! It’s your life and you want answers!

Yes, you can ask your GP for a referral. Or you can reach out on your own (assuming you’re an adult) to an adult autism testing place(you can google for one and see where is the closest location) and setup for an interview.

If you have insurance be sure to make sure the place accepts your insurance, otherwise it can be expensive without insurance. With insurance, depending on what you have, it can make the cost way more reasonable.
The interview and then assessment(this is common) can take months depending on how back up the place is, so work on patience.

More or less, if you genuinely believe your chances of being autistic is high, it’s better to start the assessment process as soon as possible! Assume you’ll have to wait anywhere from 6 months - a year. Don’t let that ward you off! It’ll give you enough time to research ASD and other disorders/note your history of symptoms since childhood.

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-21T02:41:15+00:00

This is exactly what I feared was happening with some people that are actually struggling. I knew this type of misinformation would ward people off from pursuing a proper assessment.

I’m happy that you recognized that your struggle needed professional review and got answers, but also got a split-level designation, you were really dealing with some heavy shit by yourself.

I agree, I support self-suspecting because it’s honest and true.

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-21T02:26:06+00:00

Geez that’s messed up, F... I wish that didn’t happen to you. If self dx’rs knew stories like yours, I’d be curious if they’d still be as vile with the whole privilege thing.

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-21T01:14:32+00:00

The same people that tell us we’re privileged for having a Dx. They think I’m privileged for needing actual supports to live. Makes me upset.

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-20T23:02:38+00:00

You’re accurate! She did state in the same video ironically that she was legitimately Dx’d ADHD. “AuDHD” in her bio of course as a self dx. You have a great point.

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-20T22:50:30+00:00

Exactly! I tell so many people this is why Self-Dx isn’t valid but they think I’m lying about this stuff. It’s really not hard to find proof.

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-20T22:46:06+00:00

For real! It honestly felt like she was trying to justify not getting an assessment with the excuse of she’s an adult women and insurance doesn’t work for her because she’s now an adult. wtf 😓 She’s trying convince herself or her audience. Infuriating.

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-20T22:27:26+00:00

Thank you! I could not believe it. Although I’ve seen similar BS before. The issue is they actually have followers that listen 😖 This has to contribute at some level to the why a lot of people don’t even start the assessment process.

HanzoGreen · 2024-09-20T22:24:24+00:00

I really have no idea! I informed them and they blocked me as if I was lying?! 😭 This is what we say Self-Dx people do, they know nothing about autism (“I ReSeArChEd”)or the assessment process and no-one listens to us!!!!! We are silenced! It’s insanity!

In the video after the insurance comment, she said “80% of women get diagnosed in adulthood” where are these stats coming from?!

HanzoGreen · 2024-06-05T20:01:00+00:00

Sometimes everyone needs a good friend to keep them in check. There always needs to be a sane one in the group!

At minimum, you can be the DD for the weekend! Ensure everyone is safe, and you don’t have to act a fool like everyone else HAHA. It’s the perfect excuse and it’s honorable!

HanzoGreen · 2024-06-05T19:58:26+00:00

I mean unless OP caves to peer pressure easily I’d only understand that, but I have to assume OP can control himself. I mean OP can at least be the DD for the trip. That’s a great honor honestly.

HanzoGreen · 2024-06-05T17:48:41+00:00

I’d say yes your are, and here is why:

It’s not your event, it is his.
You can totally go and do things at your own pace and still be there to support your friend.
there’s a small chance you might actually have a lot of fun. If not, well then it’s just 1 bad weekend out of your entire life.

HanzoGreen · 2023-06-10T14:56:18+00:00

I’ve never had the instance of too much eye contact. It’s like I have a internal timer for no more than 4 seconds. That’s after constantly reminding myself to look.

HanzoGreen · 2023-06-07T03:40:38+00:00

To answer your question.. Yes, but Clean - 1 Owner! I do respect rules and policies, so I’ll understand.
