    How Long Was It Before You Were Diagnosed?

    I first realized I may be autistic at 11, but I didn't really identify as such until I was 12/13. I started seeking diagnosis at 14, and got diagnosed a month before turning 16! :)

    *Little* Things That Annoy You (Pet Peeves)

    I hate reminders!!! Even when I set them myself, I just remember the reminder so I can turn it off before it shows up (which helps me remember whatever I needed to be reminded of! I guess it's just a roundabout way of reminding myself but oh well), even if I don't remember whatever I'm being...

    Diagnosed!

    Took an entire year but finally done! And as always I expected something big to happen due to this, and as with every diagnosis or evaluation literally nothing changed lol Don't know what I expected but oh well... Okay I DID expect at least a celebration, but maybe I should just ask for one...

    I haven't ever really had a run in with obvious ableism, hope that doesn't change when I get diagnosed as autistic.. Well it's not like it'd bother me, I think. I'm going to be loud and proud and VERY annoying about it. Some people being weird or rude won't just crush my spirits when my favorite...

    Anyone else REALLY frustrated with waiting times for a diagnosis?

    I think they're wayy too long. My father called in some time at the beginning of summer to ask when we can go in for testing, and they told him to call back in September to set a date FOR NEXT YEAR! I know there is a shortage of psychologists and such but this is just insane! I have never met a...
