there really is something so devastating about having a parent that has a literal degree in psychology (specialized in child psychology) who worked as a birth to three child developmental resources coordinator for like fourteen years and knowing that because of those things, they will never believe you when you think you have something because they think they know more than you and also know you better than you know yourself. and in any scenario the only way they will EVER agree with you is if they came up with the idea of the diagnosis first. wild shit honestly

#i love my mom #i really do #however she fully does not believe i am autistic #although she does think i have depression/generalized anxiety/social anxiety/adhd/ocd tendancies/sensory issues/auditory processing issues #like girl. the umbrella diagnosis for these things is literally right fucking there. its autism #but no! she doesnt think thats right and she never says it directly to me but she makes it abundantly clear #she doesnt believe in self diagnosis even after multiple years of research. shocker #she really is holding onto that psych degree that she got 20 years ago for dear life #like bestie update your fucking research. this is literally your job.#when i go to u and am like woah this list is genuinely a record of like half of my literal personality traits but instead of being listed #as personality traits theyre characteristics of autism #u should be like wow! yeah youre right! thats crazy idk how i missed that but now we know!#not yeah. hm. we can go get you diagnosed if you want #(implying that she will take me to a psychiatrist to get diagnosed soley so that i can be proved wrong)#anyways. its just like. absolutely bonkers to me #aiilov-personal
