What benefit for me is there for me to get diagnosis for autism? I suspect I may be little bit of autist. I remember as a kid, taking a video game cartridge to school to show my cool game to kids, only to be left rejected because other were "yeah, whatever", and I've my entire life felt rejected (though it could be for other reasons than autism alone), and have very hard time connecting with people. Hypothetically, if the autism diagnosis came positive, what help would they be able to provide that would boost my life? I feel like I would get nannied or something, so there's fear I will lose whatever little individual freedom that I have. Anyone have experience from this on themself or relatives? I'm approaching mid 30s
>>32570291You get less employment opportunity and no guns.
>>32570291What do you hope to achieve? Do you want disability support money so you don't have to work? If not there's not really any benefit. Sure, a diagnosis can mean employers are required to give you extra support but in reality it won't change a thing. If you've not done so already, search the 4plebs /adv/ archive, as this has been talked about here many, many times before.
>>32570820at the risk of asking to be spoonfed, can you link me to some archives of good past threads?
>>32571311No. You can search just as well as I can.
>>32570800I thought they preferred disabled niggas for quotas
>>32570291>What benefit for me is there for me to get diagnosis for autism?>Self-understanding>Weight off your shoulders, an explanation for your lifelong question of “Why do I feel different and out of place?”>Possible NeetBuxx, aka free money each monthYou won’t be nannied, you won’t lose anything. Society won’t cut off opportunities from you. Your life will be the exact same as it was, only this time now you have a map of your life spelled out for you, whereas before you were blind to your own mind and its machinations. It’s game changer.Will you get a big fantastic life and trophy wife/husband and a million dollars and end credits happy ending?No. But you’ll know how to get there in your autistic way of doing it. And you’ll notice that everyone autist and non autist is aiming for the same. You’ll actually be in the race this time
>>32570291You can get gibs but that's it. I was diagnosed but I haven't applied for them, I don't want them. There was nothing else it did for me, it's not like the clouds parted and suddenly I was better because I knew what was wrong with me. And there's no medication, treatment or therapy either because it's not le disease, we're just le special. So I just cope and mask now and try to figure out what's next, the same way I was before but with a little more knowledge
>>32571977not that anon but I suspect being a spergdiagnosed with ADDgot garbage grades until I moved to a public school where it was easy enough where it wasn't a pain in the ass to dofinished university just fine with 3.25 GPAI never suspected myself of being a literal aspie until I randomly came across a list of signs of it and I was like oh fuck!!!!
>>32570800>and no guns.not true>t. literally on disability for autism, got the stamp for a full auto no problem
