Hey!

If there’s confusion related to the title,its just a reference that the system has won, I lost, once again.

So my paid for professional diagnosis is done for now, I am refused the official recognition as an Autist. It’s all still there though.

I am livid. And empty.

I guess it’s my fault since >40 years of adapting and masking can make you too social, that’s what it broke down to. I am friendly and open and excel at masking.

They don’t see the price I (we) pay.

Apologies for the rant. I need your support.

    From one internet stranger to another: you are valid. For the naysayers no amount of official recognition would matter anyway.

    EDIT: Your anger is also valid and justified.

      Thank you!

      Also without the edit.

      Last week I talked to my first official known autism ever and found so many things understood it was heartwarming.
