So I just spoke to my parents about my recent assessment for #autism and was told that they’re basically leaving it to me. I was told that “everyone is getting diagnosed with something these days” and I shouldn’t go looking for “labels”. And regarding self diagnosis… absolutely not! 😬
Not what I wanted to hear, to be honest. 🫤 Now questioning everything (again) and wondering what the point of all this is. After all, “why should [I] want to know?”
