TW: mentions of suicide attempts
When I was 12 I overheard my mom and my grandma talking. I had headphones on but nothing plugged in.
My grandma said something about me being stupid and my mom said " You cant say that about her!"
My mom.in a hushed voice after looking over at me said.
"Because she has Aspergers."
I had never heard that word before once in my life, so I looked it up and found so much information that made sense to who I was.
All of it related to me, and I was bullied everyday for years because of this and not once did my parents seek out help for me.
I confronted my mom and she tried to blow it off, so I asked my dad and he told me that I was never officially diagnosed because I was 2 when they took me.
Neither of them really cared when I kept begging for help, because lights were to bright or when crowds made me wanna leave and curl up somewhere safe, or when I kept crying cause I kept getting bullied at school.
They lied to me for years and both put off getting me diagnosed or any professional help until I turned 18..Then I called a therapist office and got my shit figured out.
My parents lied to me for years about a disorder I had that i got bullied on to the point where i tried to kill myself multiple times.
This was neglect. This were parents not getting their child help because they wanted to keep up an image and it should make you sick.
