*screams in frustration*

My gf has been referring to herself as autistic for a while now after our polycule had several talks where we suggested she may want to research autism and ADHD and neurodivergence in general. Recently, she was told by both her therapist and psychiatrist “I don’t think you’re autistic, but I definitely think you should get tested for ADHD.” and I was so excited for her to finally have some idea of how to move forward in figuring all her stuff out.

But now it’s been almost a month and she’s started to say things like “my ‘tism is ‘tisming” and “I’m the kind of autistic that likes bubble gum flavor” way more often than she used to, which wouldn’t bother me if it weren’t for the fact that 1) she’s never done any research on her own and instead relies on what she sees and hears from members of our polycule 2) has basically ignored that her therapist and psychiatrist have both suggested she’s ADHD and 3) she continually attributes random “quirks” like enjoying bubble gum mouth wash and not liking how hats feel on her head to her “‘tism”.

Idk, maybe I’m overreacting but it’s been bothering me a lot. I’m self-dx and I support self diagnosis 1000%, but she hasn’t taken the time to research, hasn’t learned much about autism aside from what her social work degree taught her (which wasn’t much) and she seems entirely against the idea that she could be allistic and dealing with other things that aren’t autism.

You are absolutely allowed to grieve for the childhood you should have had but didn't. You are allowed to grieve for the things you missed out on. You are allowed to be angry, hurt or any number of things.

I hope that you are able to give yourself some of those experiences now, even if they seem 'silly', but that doesn't erase that you should have had them when you were a child. You should have received so much comfort, love and care. You deserved better.

Sometimes I think I’m faking my autism and I can actually be normal and not weird but then I realize it’s literally how my brain is wired and no matter what I do I can’t prevent it.

Anyway

Welcome to my blog 💛🤎💚

I’m Morgan (they/she) and I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m currently 28 years old and I’m on a journey of unmasking, self love, and radical self acceptance.

I self diagnosed as autistic years ago and now, finally, with both my therapist and psychiatrist stating their professional opinions and helping me out, I’m planning out my official assessment. I’ll be sharing all about my experience with this here.

I’m multiply disabled, an ambulatory wheelchair user, and an adult AAC user. I’m semi-verbal and use modified signs, type/text to speech, and a TON of echolalia to communicate alongside verbal speech.

My main hobbies are binging tv shows, listening to music, playing video games, baking, writing, reading, and crafty projects like sewing and painting.

I’m genderqueer, pan-aceflux, demi-romantic, and polyamorous. I have 3 amazing partners who I live with; we are all neurospicy in some way. I have a pitbull named Pugsley and my gf has a pitbull named Sprite.

I really love the colors yellow, brown, and green. My favorite animals are cows, frogs, deer, elephants, and hammerhead sharks. My favorite bird is the California Condor. My favorite flowers are sunflowers and hyacinths. My favorite holidays are Halloween & Christmas.

I’m a therian (Siberian tiger) and I feel very connected to identities related to alterhumanity, especially robots/androids, aliens, and mermaids. I’m an age regressor and pet regressor and I experience both of these voluntarily and involuntarily.

I’m currently working with my therapist to develop healthier coping skills, work somatic healing into my life, and figuring out what techniques for inner child healing work best for me.
