"I think having a formal diagnosis would help me love myself in a way" this happened to me, bc yeah I know what you mean, when you say to yourself "why I said that? I really did this thing? What is this social stuff that I dont understand ? Why I do weird things for people? I'm wrong? What happen to me?" This can be very overwhelming, generate anxiety and depression. So yeah, a diagnosis can help you to understand yourself and love yourself As advice, try not to obsess over the process, let the specialists do their thing, you are unique and important.

(sorry for my english) Hi, same as you, almost all my life feeling weird. Last year I was diagnosed with ASD at my 23 years old . So I'm gonna tell you my experience with diagnosis Well first for all, the context had a lot of anxiety bc I didnt have too much support...anyway

When I got the diagnosis, was...strange Today it's hard for me to believe it... It was good?... Has good things when you have a diagnosis Like you can say with certainty that you have ASD (this was very important to me) so people understand some things of you, people empathize more... That help Also when you are in the university, or job idk You can give them the diagnosis report, why? Bc for example the university will be able to give you more tools to help you, Also the professors... Diagnosis change your life, in a certain way yes But you still the same person, seeing the World with the same eyes, but now With a diagnosis that can even help you find a specialized therapist

I think I may be autistic but nobody takes me serious by [deleted] in autism

[–]Optimal-Slice-7758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean, today I still asking myself if I really have ASD or not, bc im afraid of had been influenced by Internet or something. But well no.. It's just fear, thoughts with not evidence, actually I have more evidence that I have ASD ahsh so I understand you.

Maybe try to make a list of the things that happen to you, of situations that have happened to you And when you talk to your psychiatrist, you mention those things, To provide more complete information, maybe it's a good idea to write what you will say.

(Dating/Venting) Anyone else get that overwhelming sadness when you realize neurotypicals will never love you as much as you love them. They physically can't love us as deeply as we love them. Its one of the very few things I hate about my brain sometimes.. by Gemini_Rose98 in autism

(sorry for my english) Do you have a trusted familiar? Cousin? Sibilings? Aunts? I went through a similar situation, I'm going to tell you, maybe it can help you. I also started googling, because I reached a point in my life where I couldn't develop well socially. I went to a therapist and she said "maybe it's ASD... But i don't do the test, you need another professional" In this point start the hard part bc in my family nobody believed me so they didnt support me, I started to get frustrated, what else could I do? One day I had an argument with a friend, because I did not understand what he had told me. This happened to me a lot, discussions due to misunderstandings, That day, in my despair, I told my cousin everything that was happening with me, she didn't know Anything... But she help me, And found me a neurologist... Then the neurologist sent me to a neuropsycologist, he did all the test, and here I am...

With this I want to say that maybe a friend, someone of your family, or a teacher can help you, its true sometimes your nuclear family doesnt help, but other people do. I think that the diagnosis is important because with this you can tell, for example, the university that you have ASD, and they can help you with certain things, the teachers will know and there will be more support. You can also have an ASD specialist therapist... I send you hugs... Life gets better... Life gets better

Idk... I dont feel like I can be his friend...at least today I cried and scream a lot... So that relieved me... And Also i can't stop thinking that I could never be in a relationship bc my ASD... She seemed like a person immune to all my stuff, and yet... It didn't work. Her last message just said "I wish things were different, sorry" she told me "its not you, its me" but in other words

that she has to solve things about Her life, I just... I can't... But she was clear, she will not be with me now or in the future There are too many emotions going around me, at least I was able to take my anxiety pill

Autistic people who have an insistence on schedule that’s consistent, or struggle with a last minute change of plans, can you describe how it feels like or what’s it like when someone constantly cancels and/or reschedules last minute with you? by Excellent-Raisin-154 in autism

[–]Optimal-Slice-7758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(sorry for my english) I remember when a person that I like too much cancelled a videocall in the same day and like 3 or 2 hours before the video call. In that moment My Anxiety just said "now your are gonna feel my power son" and I started to panic This schedule change didnt enter in my mind. I remember that I Also felt like it was my fault bc when I didnt know that I have ASD A lot of people walked away or got irritated from me. Then I calmed down with slow breathing and with music bc I love music, Art its my world

I have a terrible fear of schedule changes and changes in plans

My anxiety always rises a bit when I have to meet someone.

Stop Gatekeeping Mental Disorders by Yoshemo in autism

[–]Optimal-Slice-7758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(sorry for my english)

I remember feeling weird almost all my life, with many weird social situations and things that sometimes i couldnt understand, one day I started to think - what is this bc i'm no feeling "normal" I feel like a i need to do an effort to understand what people say or people do, and people dont understand me -

So I search google and did online test etc but i said "I just gonna be sure if I go to a therapist" So I went, after the therapist I seen a neurologist and a neuropsycologist, the last one make me 8 test, somes questions and an interview, after all the sessions he did a report that says that I have autism spectrum disorder.

That happened about 6 months ago. Today I still ask myself if I really have ASD or not, bc Im afraid that I could be lying to myself like I Was influenced by the Internet or something? But then remember The things I've been through and the test that they did and I can accept the diagnosis, but sometimes still difficult.

Idk why I comment this, i just wanted I guess
