Well I'm having one. Any advice?
My medical issues make it hard for me to cope so I try to control every detail of things from the start because if I mess stuff up I don't have the physical ability to adapt. This kind of behaviour looks autistic to the docs so I'm being assessed.
I'm concerned about getting another mental health label whether it's accurate or not. I've found so much discrimination from being under the mental health people. Everything gets blamed on depression even obvious physical stuff.
Will an autism diagnosis be of a benefit to how I'm treated by professionals or a detriment? I'm interested to hear other people's options and experiences.
