    If I learned anything on my (incomplete) journey to get diagnosed it’s that diagnostics (by NT) are still completely lacking and only seeing the obvious, being completely mislead by those of us who are atypical.

    So I’d say those of us are (far) more knowledgeable than the current average knowledge about being Autist and the circumstances than the medical field/psychology. Also therapy of course.

    So on the end I hope for the future at some point we will be far more included in this and hence the deeper issues can finally be included and being worked on.

    In this field imo we’re still at the point like in the medical field when women were just handled as smaller men, with the man as reference. We have a different foundation. The less obviously ‘disabled’ we are, the more devious the damages of us simply adapting are.

    Hm, maybe I should do a Ted talk.

    At first I thought I only ever saw them with fixed dosages but that’s not true. For diabetes I’ve seen variable dosages.

    (a quick Google brought up varioject)

    I still states pre-filled though. If you tell me which medication I could ask (German) doctors, by choice also via DM to me.










  • I can relate. I mean, I think it’s supposed to feel good, but it doesn’t seem wo work for us.

    Maybe it’s the decoupling from the social groups because of so much negative feedback or maybe it’s because the things I receive a praise for is totally not what I would praise but inherent, logical doings.

    But what should I say, were often watching people do stupid antisocial things which would cost no effort to do right and social (eg parking your shit scooter well) yet they don’t.

    Maybe it’s that gap/rift why praise also doesn’t hit.
