Earlier today I had to hand in a copy of my diagnosis to social services, so they can look if they can give me support. Which I don't mind at all, I'm not that much of a rebel, lol.
However; looking at it, a few points came to mind. And it made me wonder a bit about cause and effect, and what...
With a chance of getting the advice like "making a thread will get more people to respond" I'll keep headstrong and try the blog first ;)
Quite often I ramble about employment, education, social services and how that all ties in (or depending what your stance is "messes") with autism in the...
And for anyone not familiar with latin, history and/or philosophy... it roughly translates to; "Who will guard the guards themselves?"... or of course a more popculture related reference "Who watches the watchmen?".
With that quote in mind I'm beginning to think that that bit of "paranoia"...
For everyone who doesn't want to read, but likes pictures... this is a short summary

So... I went to see my therapist today as she told me she'd have results in by january 18th.
I had no idea what to expect... well, to me it could be anything. I kinda expected her to pull the PDD-NOS thing on me. It always felt kinda "easy" to put such a label on someone.
Anyway; the...
In my last blog I wrote a bit about a letter I got from the employment agency and how their specialist deemed me "fit for any job". I also wrote I filed a complaint because I, as well as my own therapist (as opposed to their therapist) thinks I rather have to sort my stuff out before I end up in...
So, earlier today I got a letter from the employment office. And according to their therapist, where they've sent me to last May I'm healthy and able to work.
However, if I didn't agree, I could send them an appeal, where I stated a decent motivation why I disagree. Thus... I did. Now...
I could start a rant... in a thread. I believe I ranted enough today. Not on the board though. I don't have intention to mess up the entire board... but, I ranted today against;
My former therapist.
Last week I went there, and he pretty much, among other therapists, told me "sorry man, I...
