>tranny>just been diagnosed autistichow am I supposed to cope with being amongst the lowest rungs in the social hierarchy?
Ball stretcher
>>43111872how is that supposed to help?
>>43111939Stretches your balls
>>43111867There's worse. >Tranny>Austistic>ADHD>PMDDAnd a side order of social anxiety and gynephobia. I have no advice on how to cope. I don't think I have a future.
At least you aren't bipolar so there's that
>>43111867>Social heirarchyIs the allistic one. We have our own. Ignore the normies shallow bullshit ladder.
>>43112061>I'm still young enough that my parents pay for everything and I haven't realized how expensive my life is going to be
>>43111867>supposed to copewhat were you born the day before the diagnosis? You should have some kind of strategy already, now you're just more informed why that weird sperg shit works and how to form new strategies in the future
>>43111991>>43111872Kek
>>43112092>Old enough to realize everything you want to do short of stay on the couch and live on ramen is expensive, securing resources is possible for anyone as professional structures still existWorrying about shit is time wasted on not doing shit. Stop self excluding.
>>43112177I'm not self-excluding. I'm literally an autistic trans woman who can't function for five days a month. Who exactly do you think is going to hire me?
>>43111867Alcohol
>>43112344Why do I keep going to doctors and therapists when the Ai knows everything already?t. drinking again
>>43112327Someone who doesn't need you every day of the month to do a job you are qualified for.
>>43112387So nobody. That would explain why I've been unemployed for 20 years.
>>43112344>>43112360Not AI albeitpsychologytoday.com/us/blog/addiction-and-relationships/202408/alcohol-as-a-masking-tool-for-autistic-people
>>43112401How did you wait 20 years getting diagnosed
>>43111867you act like this is a complete surprise lolsurely you must have realized at some point that you were at least slightly more retarded than the average person
>>43112409Doesn't change what I said. I've gone to a dozen therapists/psychs and none of them have pointed this out. >>43112479I'm still not fucking diagnosed. If you're over 25 and autistic in Australia, they just don't give a shit. There is literally nowhere for me to get a diagnosis on autism. And the ADHD diagnosis cost $2000. Plus I spent a very long time trying to avoid the label because I didn't want to be autistic. Dumb strategy, but it's not like there was a good one.
>>43111872unironically i used to do this when i was young for some reason by accident trying to for some reason cover up my entire dick with my scrotum, and now as an adult i swear its way too hella big for some reason and i blame that weird fascination
>>43112507Depends where you are. You can hit the neuropsychology unit at the nearest university with one of those. They'll only do diagnosis, but your GP can manage meds and treatment after that. Cost you a few months wait, but it'll get you sorted. Try prince of Wales if you're in Sydney.
>>43112507You will need a referral from your GP
>>43112344it actually helps ahahahajahsha
>>43112577I'm in vic, supposedly they're going to let GPs diagnose and treat now, but neither of my GPs know what's going on with that.
>>43112587And two grand. And referral from the GP does not do shit about the Autism. Apparently there's no a psych in the country that will diagnose autism in someone over 25.
>>43112609Not on the cheap, no they won't diagnose plus 25. But I've had a few friends go through the university route who were plus 30 and it costs nothing.
>>43112644For autism or ADHD?
>>43112666I've seen ADHD and autism and non-specific ND diagnosis. Cool reports too.
>>43112344I just wish it didn't make me fat and ugly
Why would you want to be diagnosed as an adult? There's zero reason for a diagnosis if you're over 20.
>>43112682Okay I'll bring it up with my GP. I fucking yonks away from a university with a psych department, but public transport is free atm.
>>43112731Good luck with it. Keep at it.
>>43112344as an autistic person i can confirm that it helps, although i'm reluctant to drink it frequently since it makes you age fasteri wish there was an alternative desu
>>43111867Just live outside the hierarchy
>>43112061>>43113752I'm still forced to interact with society nona... still forced to endure the humiliation ritual>>43112129now I know I'm doomed to always be like this, instead of being able to meaningfully improve all I can is work around my disability, and beg others to make accommodations for me>>43112486I forced myself to doubt my instincts until I had a diagnosis because people can often lie to themselves>>43112730my therapist encouraged me to do so and I didn't see what the harm would be other than a small amount of my time
>>43114248your therapist is jewish
>>43114305Obsessed goy
>>43114248I just ignore and do my own thing
>>43114248You can limit your interactions with a diagnosis, do them on your terms. A diagnosis doesn't tell you anything he about yourself, they're not going to suddenly cure it either, that's normie bullshit about lowering your inconvenience to them.But what it is going to do is let you advocate for yourself. Let you put down boundaries so you can be safe and healthy and people are legally obligated to abide by it
>>43117023maybe I'm pathetic for thinking this, but the idea of waltzing into my workplace and demanding that they make all of these accommodations for me on the basis that I'm autistic, makes me feel pathetic, like I'm no longer riding on merit alone. I work really hard, I'm proud of my career and my professional reputation, in my sad life it's one of the few things that gives me pride, I don't want to become a retroactive diversity hire
>>43117418It's conflict avoidance and ablist bullshit. And worse, it hides the achievement that your actually working ten times harder to do shit their way instead of being able to do it your own way and be even more productive. Also do you think everyone achieved everything through will, and not that they constantly worked to improve their methods? That's all you're doing, making sure you can work to your methods and they can't just impugn that because it's not "common sense" to them to do it that way.
>>43117658alright nona, i'll have a think about what would help me, thank you
>>43117764There's a balance that can be struck. But it won't be if you live life by allistic rules
