getting diagnosed with autism at 23 was the best thing that had happened to me in many many years and sure would have been nice if it was something I could have considered on my own

Also damn I wonder if there are race or gender disparities in autism diagnosis. Probably Not Fortunately

    I'm trying to get diagnosed with ADHD, which I am 100% sure I have due to reading about ADHD Inattentive being a lightbulb moment and talking to others with it feels like finally being understood. Its really detrimental to my life, and I'm working through it with my therapist, but you have to go to a specialist to get "properly" diagnosed and that guy basically told me he won't give me the diagnoses because I also have depression and anxiety and also some major trans broken arm syndrome bullshit.

    Why is it so hard to get the medication I need. I can barely fucking function as I am.
