    Getting diagnosed: Bravest thing I did for myself

    Where I live there is still great stigma attached to mental health. My family avoids doctors of any kind, and mental health is taboo. No one ever took me to any kind of psychologist.

    When you first suspected you were autistic as an adult

    This. My family was threatening me they would send me to 'retarded' school because I was talking to fast. I told them the exact same thing. Did't get a reply. Also, a lot is coming back so I just realized I was always made to feel responsible for everything that happens if I'm around. Even if...
