I think that very few people that are AWARE of autism and neurodivergency know about the problems associated with them.
Autism is considered a mental disability, specifically a developmental disorder. Therefore with the diagnosis of the spectrum you can go for a disability certificate. However, according to the established Polish law, the disability certificate must be renewed by EVERY disabled person once every 1-5 years. Missing a limb? Oops you need to get a DIAGNOSIS for it every year to make sure it didnt just grow back.
so like an idiot for the last 8 weeks in a row I've been going to the clinic and taking IQ tests again only to be re-diagnosed with asperger's syndrome which no longer exists. lol
What's more, the system rick rolled me out of some small righties, assuming in advance that highschool is not for me. Well is it? I recently realized that I have some kind of trauma related to some of the previous behavioral therapy I attended. the topic was about recognizing facial expressions, not only was i bullied a lil during that time but also i think that the psychologist has been misstreating me. Probably mocking. But afterall what do i know? My memory has been getting awfully painfully bad and playing many weird tricks on me.
I just wish i could speak up my mind regarding my spectrum symptoms without being stigmatized and, oh no, infantilized. I wish I could tell my friends that i want to auditory stimm by listening to loud music on headphones. I want to explain to my friends how much the touch of water hurts/annoys me sometimes. I wish i could communicate and READ other people. Everything bad is what i have brought upon myself. You have brought it upon yourself.
