  • What is your comfort food?

    Jump

  • Spinach feta quiche or Käsespätzle (a special kind of pasta, fried with onions and cheese). Some days I need a chicken nugget burger from Burger King. There's just something about that soft burger bun with just slightly crispy chicken nuggets that I crave sometimes.

    Comfort food is a lot more about texture than taste to me.

  • Thank you! I don't really wish to be someone else. I just spent the first 20 years of my life being told and thinking I was stupid, lazy and incapable of making friends. The next 20 years were spent masking extremely well and passing for "normal", except for those total breakdowns every couple of years when I couldn't really eat, sleep or communicate for a few weeks. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, PTSD etc. but the meds and therapy didn't really help that much. Finally I got a new therapist, a young one, fresh from uni and full of new information and ideas and after reading my file she made me take tests for ADHD and autism. Both were pretty conclusive but she's not licensed to diagnose it. I got diagnosed with ADHD almost two years ago and got meds and better help but there's still a lot of grief for all the years that could have been better and that's what makes me wish to be different sometimes.

  • It's a definitely agree for me. We had to change some smart light bulbs because they omitted a very high pitched sound that nobody but me could hear. Also had to change our dog walk route because in one of the houses on our old route they bought one of those machines to keep animals away and I almost cried when we passed it. Also can hear phones ring in cars passing our house.

  • Do you need an adult autism diagnosis? The professionals say "¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ iunno? U tell me"

    Jump

  • It might be a question of priority, like do you need an official diagnosis to get accommodations at school/work or do you "just" want to know for sure.

    Also, it'll make you think about why you're requesting the assessment and in what way it'll change your life. Like, in my case having an official diagnosis wouldn't change anything, therapy options are designed to make a person useful for the workforce, I am a housewife so it wouldn't help me much. So I'd rather have them use their service for people who actually have a need for their service.

  • Video: The constant gaslighting that autistic people experience

    Jump

  • It's reality for a lot of autistic people. Is it bad to point that out?

  • The video actually proposes self diagnosis to be accepted as a step of medical diagnosis. It's not anti-science at all, it criticizes the current situation regarding medical diagnosis.

    Jump

  • Because most people use scientifically proven tests to determine whether or not they are autistic? The ones that are actually used during diagnosis by a doctor as well.

  • I've been told it's to get attention. I don't personally see it because as said in the video you either get attacked for being autistic or get attacked for being self diagnosed but apparently there's positive attention as well.

    Jump

  • Way too much. I've been told so many times in this community that self diagnosis isn't valid and I don't get to say I'm autistic until I have an official diagnosis that says so.

    Fortunately, there are still some people here who don't think so and that's what's keeping me here.

  • But...what does this have to do with the posted video? Your comment just felt like an attack on everyone who doesn't have access to diagnosis.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again and it's the hill that I'll die on:

    There is a huge difference between teenagers self-diagnosing because of TikTok videos and people who do their research looking for ways to make their lives easier. The latter ones don't do it to get attention and accomodations and you've grouped them together with the former ones. That's not what they are though and it's hurtful. I thought this space was a place to find help and community instead of being told again and again that I don't belong.

  • It's from an autism spectrum test, I believe that one is from IDR labs.

  • What earplugs do y'all recommend? My sensory issues putting things in my ears makes most of them unpleasant for me.

    Jump

  • Have you tried loop earplugs? There are several different kinds that filter sounds differently and I can wear mine all day. I recommend trying their foam tips though, they are more comfy than the silicone ones.
