#undiagnosed autism culture

[autismcultureis]

Undiagnosed audhd culture is never having meltdowns and only ever having shutdowns when youre alone in your room and wondering why youre so useless and incapable of functioning normally

me: *reads over symptoms of autism once again* “see but i don’t get upset over changes in routine, we change the routine all the time and i’m totally okay with it!”

also me since i was a kid: *gets irritated, stressed, angry, aggravated, and depressed for the rest of the day after something is switched to another day* *gets angry, stressed, and depressed, and has a breakdown when i find out we have to cancel plans, even if i didn’t really wanna go to wherever we were planning to go* *gets aggravated and is easily upset and is depressed the whole day after i get to cancel something that i had been planning for but also are relieved that i don’t have to go since i really didn’t want to* *is depressed, angry, irritated, and stressed after we cancel plans that i had zero feelings for up until that point* etc.

When you're listening to music and you find that one specific tune that hits the spot and listen to it on repeat for the rest of the day.

The "gifted kid who didn't need to study" to "neurodivergent burnt out college student who doesn't know how to study" pipeline is very real and I don't like that I'm experiencing it, I need to graduate to get a job and get out of my parents house and get better mentally and physically. 🥲

undiagnosed adhd/ autism culture is convincing yourself that you couldnt possibly be ND and that you're just "faking", so you repress the traits that have been surfacing lately, but then slowly realize that it's the literal definition of masking

Black Autistic Culture is people not comprehending the fact of that black people can even be autistic in the first place.

Undiagnosed autism culture is your family can't comprehend that you are also autistic because you have a family member that was diagnosed as a child and has different support needs than you.

the way my autism would shine through so much more if i didn’t have social anxiety 😔 like it shows (when i unmask at least), but not as much as it would if the social anxiety wasn’t there

The undiagnosed neurodivergent experience of being the only friend to all the obvious/non-masking neurodiverse kids who used to get bullied by everyone else at school because you didn't see anything wrong with them.

A vent

A rant, even. I don't know what tw tags I should put here other than a general vent tw. Stay safe and be nice to yourself!

I want an autism evaluation by an actual specialist but every time I bring it up with my mom she just says that I'm not autistic. I can't bring it up with her without me crying afterwards and even when she says she will look into it she makes it seem like such a big burden on her. I've taken a whole bunch of screening tests and I've always scored higher than the autistic threshold. I think that if I wasn't gifted and talented I'd have been diagnosed by now. I was verbally diagnosed by a therapist when I was 13 but it wasn't legal or put on my record. There's basically zero teen autism diagnosis services in my area so I feel really stuck. My irl friends are super supportive of me and my self identification so I feel safe at school with them around. I thought about talking to the school phycologist about it but my mom might have been contacted about it and just the thought of that makes my stomach hurt. My mom said that a doctor could just look at me and tell that I'm not autistic but I don't know who to trust and how to feel. I feel really stuck.
