Tfw when your therapist tells you you're not autistic, just traumatized, when you say you don't want to get tested for autism because rfk jr is in power. She literally doesn't even get why that would make me not want to be tested. I know she's lived her whole life in a weird town in a blue state that thinks it's the most progressive place on earth despite barely being left of fetterman, but seriously? You're a therapist who works with autistic kids and yout think nothing about how they're going after vaccines and Tylenol to purify our populace of autism? While they've been disappearing people in other groups they dislike?
And my brother in Christ, the only thing I'm traumatized by is how last fall I started punching myself whenever I felt like I made a social faux pas or was upset by normal noises
The things themselves have always happened to me; just last fall I was violent against myself for them
So since autistic people keep telling me I seem autistic, I want to know if I have a deep seated social conditioning to hate these things about myself because they correspond with a stigmatized condition
But yeah just tell me we can talk about how to change my socially incorrect behavior and that it's harmful to attribute it to autism if I haven't been diagnosed. I appreciate that. And then if I get upset you can tell me I'm too emotional and you're going to cut me off because we're "near the end of the session" (40 min into the 50 min session)
It's giving "we can't call you gay but we can work on your struggles with same sex attraction"
