self-proclaimed radical leftists: in the communist utopia that exists only in my head, everyone will work, by which i mean a full-time job in the post-industrial revolution sense. this is because work is obviously the only way one can contribute to society, and everyone who doesn't work is a parasite that will be eradicated in my Communist Utopia™. i don't even care about the products or purpose of people's labour because, as everyone knows, employment equals morality and so having a job is inherently virtuous and not having a job makes you a lazy leech who doesn't deserve to live. trust me, this is a very communist idea. i'm practically an expert because i read 1.5 tweets about marx.
what? omg why are you making this about disability, i was obviously talking about normal people 🙄 if you're disabled, you have an excuse to be a useless waste of resources who can't contribute anything 😊 in my ✨ Communist Utopia ✨, you don't have to work if you're not able to. don't worry, we'll have rigorous and dehumanising tests to determine if you're disabled enough or if you're just a lazy faker! this process is infallible and has no drawbacks whatsoever for disabled people. have you considered that maybe you're the real ableist for criticising me? 🤔 anyway, have i mentioned how much i love employment and also the taste of boot leather

I'm going to tell all self diagnosed autistic people, I'm done talking this out with you.
You may have autism, but if you can't get tested, you can't get help for it officially.
Self diagnosis can be dangerous for people who actually do have autism. Excuse me for having nearly everyone in my life telling they are autistic and do not have a diagnosis. They actually do not have it, yet, their claims are stuck with us. You say you have issues like me? But you don't.
Imagine always feeling so stupid, because this flavor of the decade illness is constantly being thrown around by people who just want to be different.
If you can't afford a diagnosis, there again, is no point in you telling the world you are autistic. You will recieve no help or support without testing. Which, as an adult, will always cost you money.
Don't believe me? I worked in social work. I was the deciding factor most of the time if a child is supposed to be tested for a disorder.
I also have talked to all kinds of psyc professionals about this, self diagnosing autism does more harm to those around you, and does nothing to help yourself. You won't get medications, no. You pay for expensive therapy.
There is no point in hurting others, when there is literally no usefulness of self diagnosed autism.
Again you will not recieve any support or extra help, since, they need a paper diagnosis to prove it...
So...
My claim stands,
Do not self diagnose autism.
If you really are autistic, you would need a diagnosis on paper, by a professional to get help.
This is also coming from someone diagnosed with asbergers type autism, semi-verbal, and has issues from learning, social skills, and no emotional control.
You know what it's like to have people all around you claim to have autism, they don't, but it still hurts you. They said they had you'll diagnosis. They said they were like you. Why are they able to do things in a NT manner? Why do you claim to have no tone control, but you actually do.
I get depressed, we all do. We feel why are we so stupid.
Yes, I am well aware there is a spectrum of autism. But there is also a base diagnosis, which is what gets you tested in school.
Why are you so willing to hurt people just to give yourself a diagnosis that will never be any benefit to even you.
But go on. Self diagnose. I hope you find it easy to sleep as you destroy the minds of actual autistic people.
Stop advocating for "self diagnosis" you are a plague. You tear people down and don't see or care because you want to be in that small group.
Just stop.
Autism sucks, autism is a life long thing. Autism is hard.
Honestly I don't care about how much money you have, WITHOUT AN OFFICAL DIAGNOSIS ALL YOU DO IS POTENTIALLY DAMAGE PEOPLE WITH ACTUAL AUTISM, THEIR ALRRADY LOW SELF ESTEEM.
Stop advocating for those who don't need it. I don't have anyone helping me, yet people making up diagnosis' get tons of attention.
Karma is a bitch.

Auditory overstimulation last night led to my first meltdown-
I was gonna say in months but I actually had one a few days ago pahaha but the first one in months caused by sensory overload (coz i thought i would have silence and didnt grab my buds or plugs and i did not have silence but hell). It was intense and horrible.
And today was just... so much sensory input. And I was struggling but I managed.
But... I've lost my water bottle. I never lose my water bottle. I've had it for years. It's the one I use every day.
I got in the uber on the way home, not two minutes later I realised I didn't have it. I feel... wrong. I feel sad. I am so uncomfortable and I don't like knowing I'm not gonna have it for the foreseeable future. I don't even know if they will find it at the place I was at coz I may have left it at a secondary location and I am just...
Nnnnnnnnngghhhhhhhh
I hate pile-up. Meltdowns and whatnot are bad enough. But if there's nothing in the following days I can at least recuperate. But I feel so volatile rn. And now that I've lost something that is an every day item in my life I feel incredibly... I dunno. Something between uncomfortable and unstable. Do not like 😭😭

I feel like I'm at a point in mental health where CBT is no longer very helpful. Like I know what most of my problems are. I do things to challenge myself and challenge my way of thinking whenever I can. I actively make decisions and change my behaviour to ensure things don't get worse BC I know my symptoms and what can make them worse.
So now talking to this therapist doesn't help BC they just tell me what I already know. And give me tasks that I already know I need to do.
We had an interesting one today where she was like "you need to be able to identify your emotions" and I was like "yes, I know, I try to break them down based on physical response BC I can't really read my emotions" to which she said "you need to be able to identify them, and not concentrate on the physical response". We went in this cycle for a few minutes, after which she said "can you read other people's emotions?". I, stupidly thinking that maybe she was getting it that I am autistic (I know it's on my chart) and can't do that, told her no.
My homework for this week is to make note of how I emotionally feel, not physically, and try to pay attention to the emotions of those around me.
So that's great. At this point I just need someone to help me plan my week so I can function better and THAT shit isn't available on the NHS!
