Been quite busy lately which is why I haven’t posted much personally.
Plus I just had a consultation yesterday with the psychologist with whom I’ve been undergoing a comprehensive psych evaluation which confirmed that I am “officially” #ActuallyAustistic.
I knew that already but strangely it’s kind of a big relief for me to finally find people specialized in autism who actually understand me without having to jump hoops to prove it. People who are able to help & recommend means of support.
I pursued the dx because as I age with a number of serious health issues, I felt that autism is something I needed officially recognized when I seek healthcare or other forms of help.
For instance I would like it recognized that if I get very upset or emotional when pushed unnecessarily, it should not be grounds to throw me out of a hospital, on the street, in my pajamas and without money or a wallet, like happened to me in 2018 at Arcadia’s Methodist Hospital after an afib ablation, an entire night awake with chest pain and them presenting me papers they were insistent on me signing (after the fact) saying my stay may not be covered by insurance!!
The way they treated me was abuse and I should have been reassured and helped with a severe anxiety attack, not thrown out. I was NOT violent.
Just got new glasses btw
