How nice.

Good for you.

Okay.
Why?

That’ll do. Thank you. Also, I do hope that isn’t (intended) condescension I’m detecting in your comment.

Put what? Put it where? Where are we? I am very confused.

That is true. I guess some part of me was wishing that I was actually normal all along and that my differences were only in my head.
I guess now I need to learn how better to live with this.

Congrats.

Thank you.

I am a week away from mine.

I hope it goes well for you.

I’m not hopful since I can’t seem to find any if the written records they wanted.

They might be able to figure it out even without the written records if you show traits.

I was told to bring a bunch of odd items such as strings coins and dice.

That is odd. For me, when a part like that came, the evaluators provided those items themselves.

I also have to go 2 hours to my home town just so I can help my mother access the online meeting.

Hopefully it’ll be worth it.

I half suspect they’ll just tell me it’s inconclusive because I can’t find my elementary transcripts from over 25 years ago.

Again, they might just be able to figure it out via your demeanor if they need to. Here’s hoping that they can diagnose you, even without the records.

I guess I have. 🙂

Thank you. Now that I know for sure, maybe I can better figure out how I can live with it.

What made you pass this diagnosis ?

There was some part of me that doubted if I really had autism, so I wanted to get it checked out. Also, if I was diagnosed, maybe I could get some benefits or something like that.

I mean, you are certainly an adult, does anybldy ever picked you had some autistics traits ?

Well, I’m actually not an adult; I’m only 16. There are also, apparently, resources that autistic adolescents like myself would benefit from.
Has anyone ever picked on me because I displayed “autistic traits”? I don’t…think so, but I have definitely been ostracized because of it. Then again, I have been told that I am a horrible judge of character, so maybe I’m giving certain people too much of the benefit of the doubt.

Sorry if I sound rude

Don’t worry, you don’t.

got diagnosed for “adhd symptoms” aka my symptoms was too mild during my childhood, and really got stronger once I had another longterm issue during my teens.

I’m sorry. I hope you’re doing all right now.

Why the fuck does this sign need to exist? Please tell me people aren’t so brain-dead as to actually do this
