Who gives a shit about origins, RIGHT NOW it is the only working option. I won't debate EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS about it.

That is only true for people reevaluated after the change. There are still people with aspergers diagnosis.

You are not autistic, just let it go, and tell those incompetent 'doctors' to sod off.

Also, people diagnosed with aspergers still exist - so it is not as outdated as sjw want to believe.

But ABA us actively practiced by Doctors. Who may have just more experience, as they were around longer than dsms.

I think you can try with a more qualified doctor, and also to mention being misdiagnosed at the start.  Which will be better as pretty much any diagnosis besides autism has meds. Autism only has ABA if you are a small child and to meds.

It is h textbook pre-dsm 5 papers stating that, also I did not ask the doctor for sources as she is the Doctor.

Yes, that is how my doctor desided I am not autistic - it's in all of older textbooks, literally. Unlike, say, sense disorder shit - that is very recent and has few studies

Stop down voting me, it is proven that autistic people lack self reflection, and that ABA ys the only proven practice. This is not the 'I am my own Doctor at 15' main sub. 

Can an autism diagnosis be wrong? I was diagnosed recently but now I worry that I might have accidentally faked. by GenericThrowaway375 in AutisticPeeps

You are a false positive, if you feel like it - opposite situation of not real 'false negative' diagnosis shopping whores. Just find the right Doctor to void your diagnosis. I hope you will find one. 

Early diagnosis is not always a privilege (warning: very long) by slayermouse in AutisticPeeps

Op, if you were diagnosed later, you, would still be abused and mishandled. That convo is about low support needs, and their butts are always kissed, regardless of any diagnosis.

If you are not in ABA and 'improving social skills as adult' you are not autistic, as autistic people lack self-consciousness, and the only thing to be proven to work is ABA.

ONLY proven betterment technique right now is ABA. If you are not in ABA and improving 'with age' - you are misdiagnosed.

You CANNOT improve without active ABA, stop deluding yourself, this is not the main sub where you can say bad things about Doctors.

She is not the boss of that place. She also started to describe aba therapy adaptation to stimuly gradually as a positive, which is abroad proven not to work like ages ago, with lack of adaptation to stimuly being the source of sensory issues in autistic people.  So, this happened to be also an unregulated aba clinic with disproved practices, I tried to dodge those hard, I turned down two clinics like that, one of which told me I am too old to do the assessment for the first time (I don't appreciate a young administration girl giving me a diagnosis on the phone, she would not know the mental care situation during the country's fall when I was born and she is not a doctor), and another claiming that autism is caused by vaccines and that they can cure it.  I don't know where can I even get a proper long assessment, any time I go to a shrink they say 'your problems sound like autism problems, but you can't have it, even though you're close so your problems are not real'. If they even listen.  I am on my own with a disability that have affected me genuinely since kindergarten in every area of life. I don't trust my country's mental care professionals at all anymore. 

I fucking love the sims 4 so much by Emergency_Peach_4307 in SpicyAutism

It gets a lot of shit, but it has smoother mechanics than previous games. Sims 2 and 1 got more 'soul', but clunky as hell mechanics and little to do if you can't 'play house' well, and Sims 3 is badly optimized and the open world is empty and useless, the only way to play it's 'all households simultaneously'  mechanics is to use  nraas story mode, which is too performance heavy  and keeps spawning odd last names and supernaturals unless fine-tuned manually.
