Hello hello!!

My only official diagnosis so far is that I’m autistic, but I suspect I have a few undiagnosed things as well. I don’t know if I should share until I know for sure, but getting to a doctor these last few months has been.... difficult.

Nice to find a lil hangout for disability, so... nice to meet y’all! :)

...or should we have tea first?✰⭒

@creativitea: hey welcome! im personally fine w self-diagnosis and wont judge u for looking for community within those groups whenever/if ever ur comf with sharing : )) ive self diagnosed w things and have had the majority of them confirmed by doctors / therapists once i was able to see them

@vessel: thanks!! i also think selfdiagnosis is valid because i know how inaccessible it can be to get it (my gf has both mental stuff and physical stuff but not many of them diagnosed yet, but i mean living with her i definitely know it's there without the papers, ya know? i just feel wary talking about it because when i brought the undiagnosed stuff up at school, it....kind of backfired...:/ so yeah, i'm careful using the words until i have proof for that reason.. i ,might share eventually, but i think i gotta ease into it. for now i'll just say that i probably have a few mental ones (added to my autism, depression and social anxiety diagnosises, oof) , and maybe one physical that i have quite a few symptoms of..)

i think i have a bit of extra fear of doctors/not being taken seriously because it took so long for me to get the help i needed, and as an afab nonbinary i'm quite scared i won't be taken seriously :/

sorry if this post is a bit sad/self centered or something ; u; my brain is just a weird place lately, especially after.... ya know.. 2020 as a whole. :vanora_sweat:

@creativitea: ya i hate how shitty people are abt self-diagnosis - its hella classist, ableist, racist and misogynistic. & transphobic. most of the people ive known who self diagnose have put a LOT of research and time into trying to figure out whats going on with them

im transmasc and ive def been treated weird by some doctors - but i also live in portland oregon so theres at least some better stuff for trans people here. the one tip i have is to always tell them to write down whatever they refuse to do for you - like if they refuse to do testing - and learning how to heavily advocate for myself has helped me a lot. its really hard though fighting for ur right for treatment and survival
also youre not being self centered at all, dw! 2020 has been fucked

@vessel: right?? like with my autism diagnosis, i got it late because it's based on one stereotypical white cis man. and i am lucky getting it, because i have certain privileges (lived in norway at the time where healthcare is mostly free, or at least covered. and i'm white, and was cispassing at the time. I know it's way harder for others for plenty of reasons, and it would be incredibly selfish of me to gatekeep people who don't have the same access, you know?)
and also like... the 20 years i went undiagnosed i was still autistic even if i didn't know. so the same applies to anyone else who doesn't have the papers for it.

the reason it's harder now is because i've moved to the UK, i'm sort of not as cis passing... and yknow.. covid..

but yeah i mean when i think i know what diagnosis i have while sort of selfdiagnosing, it's not because i'm like "oh, this sounds like fun!!", i'm confused about why my brain does a thing, and i put a lot of research in (usually while crying, partly because i don't want it to fit, but it does; but also just crying because it's overwhelming and i feel broken). I am desperately looking for a word that explains what I'm going through, i don't want another diagnosis to add to the list; but i know there's something undiagnosed there and i'm just trying to understand it... but I feel like people think i'm just looking for pity or trying to manipulate them, when what i'm trying to do is ask for help or empathy... :/
i don't want pity, it doesn't help, it's just othering. i'm just tired..

again, i rant
sorry!!!
it's just frustrating

Oh jeez I haven't heard that term in forever. I forget where I learned that from? Did someone I know have that? Do I have that? aw crap i don't even know.

people are so shitty towards disabled people. I can't fathom how evil you have to be to get to that point....
