  • … just gets my gatekeeper alarm bells ringing. I know way too many people who’ve been initially denied a diagnosis because their psychiatrist had an outdated view of autism that relies on stereotypes …

    same here and this me for several years – i didn’t get tested until i came out of the closet because queer == autism, but somehow brown != autistic in their minds.

    Sorry for tearing into all of this so heavily, i get when there’s interesting takeaways here for somebody. But i have the impression this does more harm than good.

    this feels necessary imo. it’s all so poorly understood and even by people who it affects – advocacy matters here!
