#still in this weird limbo almost two years since i was referred for an autism assessment and no appointment or diagnosis yet lol#this morning my mother said god i'm so glad you weren't diagnosed when you were younger i would not have been able to cope haha! like.#am i being sensitive or is that an insane thing to say.... like yes i wasn't diagnosed when i was younger but i was still? autistic???#and having a very bad time because of it??? like i'm sorry if it would have inconvenienced you to have an autistic child but it's weird to#me to say that and recognise you would have had to do a lot differently and not then make the logical connection that BECAUSE we didnt know#and BECAUSE you didn't do anything to support me i was like. wildly unhappy lol. i did kind of try to say this to her but i don't think she#understood and i find it so hard to communicate how i feel about these things in the moment. idk i feel like we;ve reached this point where#everyone can recognise symptoms but they stop there. like they pat themselves on the back for noticing when i'm about to have a meltdown#or theyll say like oh i interrupted your routine and changed the plans haha bet that's thrown you off! and they think it's enough just to ?#say it out loud i guess? to acknowledge it? but not to actually do anything to accommodate those needs. i don't need everyone to fall all#over themselves to make everything about me and make my life easier but it's so wild to have people go as far as to point out behaviours#like theyre so sensitive for having recognised an autistic response but then not to actually do anything further. idkkk i feel unreasonable#but i'm getting so bored of it. that post that's going around like sorry i exhibited symptoms of this thing i have it will happen again lol
