To anyone who believes their child is on the spectrum
Think very carefully about getting an official diagnosis. If your child has severe problems such as causing harm or unable to communicate in any way, go to the doctor. But anything less, stay away.
Otherwise your child WILL be discriminated against by everyone with authority over them. Doctors, teachers, psychologists and employers. They will be a permanent member of the worlds most discriminated group. I will always hate my parents for the choices they made. They told me I should be proud of my identity. I have been denied jobs and marginalized by school teachers.
I had two suicide attempts, mustering up the courage for a third.
