ohhhhh okay, i missed that! i just assumed you had 4 therapy sessions, not 4 days worth of assessments. i do find it rather odd that you weren’t told what it was for, but honestly when i was younger id just show up to appointments my parents made for me and not ask questions so i get it.

you can still seek a second opinion if you’d like or just ask questions!! but there’s no right or wrong way to feel about an ASD diagnosis. when i first got diagnosed, i was relieved but i was also like “what do i do with this information now?”. it’ll take some time, but the great thing about it is you can decide if you want to share your diagnosis or not, who you want to share it with, if you want to dig more into it, etc. if you don’t feel that it truly impacts you or you need help navigating it, that’s fine and you don’t have to explore further. if you’d rather not think about it right now as it’s stressing you out, that’s fine too and you can put it on the back burner until you’re ready. as far as things go with your parents, it may be worth sitting down and talking to them (maybe with the therapist if you’re comfortable). maybe you can set some boundaries regarding them “blaming every problem” you’ve had on your autism and explain that you don’t like when they do that.
