So I came to realize that I might be autistic.
There's a ton of evidence that I can think of and all of my closer friends confirm that, like it's the most obvious thing.
However the diagnosis is very expensive.
And I'm not comfortable with defining myself as autistic, because people often dismiss it, if you don't have the diagnosis. Which is fair tbh, I can see that this term is abused now.
It might help to be able to clearly explain myself to people, that I'm not a creep or a freak and I'm not trying to be rude, and that this is just a normal thing people sometimes have.
So idk. You can share with me your ways to deal with that issue.
Do you actually communicate to others that you're autistic or are you masking or just don't give a shit?
