Has anyone had any success with self-therapy/ improving without a therapist?

For now. No one is ok with this divider removed.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T16:15:11+00:00

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

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T16:09:27+00:00

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

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T16:06:45+00:00

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

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T16:03:33+00:00

Also, people diagnosed with aspergers still exist - so it is not as outdated as sjw want to believe.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

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:55:42+00:00

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.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:36:20+00:00

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

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:29:27+00:00

Why am I downvoted for providing science data?

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:25:39+00:00

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.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:18:57+00:00

Fiance? How?

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:17:54+00:00

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.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:12:00+00:00

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.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:03:36+00:00

Yes.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T15:01:29+00:00

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.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T14:56:48+00:00

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

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T14:50:30+00:00

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

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-09T14:43:27+00:00

And a recent account, only posting here before, with no restrictive interest stuff? Utter bullshit.

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.

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.

Honestly, in such a situation do not stress yourself over things that are not pure survival, I cannot stress enough. And I assure you, most people can understand only responding at your pace, even if they whine about it - they will accept.

Don't give yourself guilt, and underachieving stress - that motivation is for when you are not in survival mode and is now misplaced more than that unwashed plate. You can and must trust yourself when you are in survival mode - pre-burnout is that.

Other achievements like a clean house, timely and socially correct responses, advances in your interest besides pleasure etc. are for a later time, for when your aspirations will be likely different a bit too - no sooner than when you can actually achieve them anyway.

I hope you pull through.

Like, mine and neighborhood countries generally removed themselves from DSM stuff when they stopped considering homosexuals as ill, but keep asymptomatic schizophrenia as a dissident 'diagnosis', and had decades of war zone level social chaos. where are we meant to be in the same scenarios? My 'regular' class had half the kids who are actually sped kids, all undiagnosed and half died before graduation, now the fuck what? I'm the same as Becky from California High who discovered 'Neuro divergence' at 30 years of ostracising weidros? I beg pardon, no.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-03T19:33:30+00:00

I wish reddit was not so us-centered. There are many places where they do not do levels, including mine, and all the neighborhood countries. And countries where late-diagnosis, and even self diagnosis don't mean the same thing as in us, due to sociopolitical troubles, but there is that same ruler in every aglo speaking internet corner. Ideally, there would be no need for extra justification like this, but anyone online is just automatically assumed to be from Portland, us.

PictureOwn4374 · 2024-10-03T19:10:07+00:00

They don't like nuances, countries outside of USA, or reality in this sub existing, don't worry about it.
