I am not ashamed, not exactly. I am good at the things I am able to do. But I'd like the suffering to stop; and I no longer feel precious about drugs "altering" the self. The self is always being changed anyway. Let's help it along how about
Would a formal autism diagnosis get me anything, now that it's more visible? I've had a diagnosis since I was 10. The problem has been that the diagnosis has done nothing for me. No cure is offered. People are unsure about what support needs to be provided.
I am not proud of being autistic. I am not stupid. I can articulate my problems. But the impulses to flap and scream and bash my head against walls have never gone away! I still feel them every day! I'd love to medicate them away!
Nothing I have experienced in the medical system seemed close to a cure. It seems to recede further as autism gets touted as a "social" disorder and not (as I conceive of it) a problem with the functioning of the nervous system.
