Bro the fact that I have to go through all of these phone calls and convince so many people just to get a diagnosis and therapy is so crazy. Like here do all of the things that you can’t do, which is why you need therapy in the first place, and only then we will give you said therapy. Insane.

#three phone calls later and I have been sent to my primary care doctor #which is what I was avoiding #bc telling my psychiatrist who has been nothing but understanding and supportive that I may be autistic is one thing #but telling my medical doctor?#so fucking terrifying #even though she’s very nice #I’m still so afraid she won’t believe me #or will just say she can’t refer me to an outside therapist #even though I know that’s bullshit #but she tried telling me she couldn’t refer me to a Kaiser rheumatologist about my chronic pain #and that turned out to not be true in the slightest #I just keep telling myself that the light at the end of the tunnel is an autism diagnosis and really good therapy #for free #autism #mental health #actually autistic
