I’m beginning to believe I am late diagnosed autistic. I feel angry a lot and have a hard time outside of routine or if things change or I don’t have a plan on a day off for example. My friend asked me why it matters if I get diagnosed and she was very unsupportive about why i need to identify with that. Nowhere else would someone say this. The weird thing is, she is allll about gender identity. Anyway, I told her that it’s better to me than being labeled as lazy, high maintenance, worry wart, selfish, depressed, etc. I’m autistic: I have done well with my life for not having any support or understanding. It brought so much self compassion.
