heyooo im working on getting a diagnoses and i wanted to talk to some other people on the spectrum

questions:

1) when/how did you get diagnosed?

currently working on a diagnoses. im talking to online doctors and therapists cuz i had an unpleasant experience with an irl therapist so i figured online was better. ive been showing signs all my life but never had the guts to talk to anyone about it lol

2) do you also have adhd/add?

yep i got diagnosed with adhd when i was 5

3) whats something you're really into (yk special interest)?

i'm super into pokemon (when i was 8-9 i was really interested in the digestive system for like no reason)

4) what have been some of your experiences with other people in your age group, before or after being diagnosed?

a lot of them (except for my neurodivergent friends) think im weird. like ive gotten weird looks for rocking back and forth all the time and stimming all my life

5) hows your day going?

pretty good. i have 1st and 4th hour finals today so thats gonna be something but after i do my 2nd 3rd and 5th hour finals tomorrow i have a 10 day break that im pretty excited about

6) favorite kind of juice (if you don't like juice, favorite liquid in general)?

orange juice or the new monster water things (ik they say 'water' on the bottle but they are colored and fruity which makes it a juice in my opinion)

have a good day :3 :^

1. I got diagnosed when I was... eight i think?? It was awhile ago.

2. Yep. I have ADHD, but I'm not really hyper or anything like my younger brother haha

3. Mostly Bendy, but currently it's ducks, rotary dial telephones, and puppet making! I'm currently making one that looks like a milk carton!

4. Uhhhh there's a lot. I wear headphones for sensory reasons pretty much most of the time. The downside is that they stick out. A lot. I also walk a bit wobbly and have to sit out in P.E cause I just got diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis... (It sucks ) Anyways I'm usually called the r slur or mean names, so not that good lol

5. I'm in my last period right now, and currently my "classmates" are making fun of autistic people sooo..... not so good now.

6. LINGONBERRY JUICE!!!!!!!!! It's so swag!! (It's from Ikea lol)

1) when/how did you get diagnosed?

I got diagnosed technically when I was 13, with "level 1" autism, but it was overshadowed by ADHD and clinical depression diagnoses. I've since had to be re-evaluated a shit ton for an IEP and FINALLY just recently got people acknowledging my autism, and that it "affects my life a lot more than people originally let on" (thanks psychiatry)

2) do you also have adhd/add?

yes, diagnosed at 13 along with autism! i also have very intense ocd, which is another common comorbidity for auti-adhders.

3) whats something you're really into (yk special interest)?

homestuck!!!!!! i have like a million different interests and hobbies (marine biology, sea monsters, pretty much all forms of visual art) but homestuck is like one of my main special interests

4) what have been some of your experiences with other people in your age group, before or after being diagnosed?

bad!!!! it's always been pretty negative. It was bad before i was diagnosed because people saw me as less mature and less capable then them, and it was bad after because people will over explain my odd behavior as "oh xyr autistic" and then turn around and make fun of others they like less for traits that could be easily seen as autistic traits because those traits are annoying or inconvenient, and it's like, you really can't escape the abelism can you??? also i don't have a lot of friends. and ive never felt like i belonged anywhere. because autism. its tough. but im ok mostly.

5) hows your day going?

pretty terribly, but im doing a little better at the moment then i was a few hours ago!

6) favorite kind of juice (if you don't like juice, favorite liquid in general)?

i like high-pulp orange juice and apple juice, especially apple capri suns and juiceboxes. im kinda sensitive to acidic stuff so it hurt to drink sometimes tho
