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.

    I have experienced the fatigue toward the end of the day. After a full day of work, I would be depleated. Before figuring out I’m autistic, my wife would call me before I left work to come home, and ask me to stop at the store for something she needed. I was always resistant to make that stop, and now I understand why.
