Hey!

If there's confusion related to the title,its just a reference that the system has won, I lost, once again.

So my paid for professional diagnosis is done for now, I am refused the official recognition as an Autist. It's all still there though.

I am livid. And empty.

I guess it's my fault since >40 years of adapting and masking can make you too social, that's what it broke down to. I am friendly and open and excel at masking.

They don't see the price I (we) pay.

Apologies for the rant. I need your support.

This is really important to remember. The diagnosis is that your life is sufficiently disordered to need meaningful accommodations or support due to your autistic traits, not whether you have autistic traits. And whether you need accommodations or support is entirely a judgement call, being made from someone not living your life.
