I'm so tired of saying things the wrong way to neurotypicals and upsetting them and feeling so confused and lost as to what I said that was bad☹️

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

today my dad told me that my ASD just isn't part of my story, I only want labels, there's no way I can have it and that he doesn't support me at all😞
I just wish I had more understanding and support from people close to me about me being different from them

@CitezenOfKreeq the government be affecting their NT brains😂😭

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

anyone else with ASD get so confused when neurotypicals imply something? They say one thing but it has a hidden meaning behind it like, be direct with me or I won't be picking up on it and then they get mad/upset when I don't pick up on it?🥴

since being told by multiple professionals that they think it's very likely I have ASD and looking into testing, I'm realising how horrible society's portrayal of autism is. I'm new to all this but reactions so far have been so awful and uneducated ☹️

I spoke to my doctor today and he thinks it's pretty likely that I have ASD so we are going ahead with official autism testing in a few months🤞🏻 it explains so much

I feel so sick thinking about telling my doctor about how I think I have ASD and wanting official assessments for it tomorrow😅😅

If you’re cold, just stand at a right angle. It’s always 90 degrees

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

I'm exhausted hearing my parents tell me why I don't have ASD when I want testing done. "You just want a label, you're fine, it'll be so mild you won't get support, we would've seen it as a kid, you don't have it, scoring 147 on RAADS-R means nothing, nobody will employ you."

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

all I ever hear is "you're talking too loud, be quiet" 😶

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

@InfluenceNot @ijustwanabethe1 @mightbeautistic The best part being "lots of people are on the spectrum and don't go looking for labels, you're coping fine what help would you need??"

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

@InfluenceNot @ijustwanabethe1 @mightbeautistic Definitely! Apparently they would've seen it in me as a kid and it'll affect my job in physics (surprise a lot of people in physics have ASD 🤣) and they also think it'll be so mild I won't even qualify for supports

[dollar store kirk hammett @olivesagan]

absolutely insane that people used to publicly update their facebook relationship status to “it’s complicated”

@autismsupsoc my parents currently telling me I couldn't be autistic because they would've seen it, it'll impact my job, it's too mild to get support with even if I'm diagnosed and that I just want a label despite 4 therapists and a psychologist thinking I have ASD and RAADS-R score being 147

#AskingAutistics what’s the craziest reason someone insisted you couldn’t be autistic bc I once had a whole ass “professional” tell me I couldn’t be autistic because “autistic people don’t have friends”

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

@ijustwanabethe1 @mightbeautistic Literally not the point! My parents are determined I don't have it and I just want a label like I can't even be intimate in my relationship bc sensory issues, I'm a loner and so confused socially and can't cope when overstimulated

[Alex @lumpyspacealex]

If my boyfriend doesn't get me this when I'm officially diagnosed it's over
