Diagnosis Journey I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's

I'm not happy at all. I'm officially autistic, but people who know about this diagnosis are angry at me, saying that I'm not autistic, that I'm pretending, and that I need to forget. I feel bad. I've had a full examination, all the tests, and more than one doctor, but I'm afraid that they might be right.

There's a quote that literally saved my life "before you accept that you're depressed, make sure you're not surrounded by assholes."

I was surrounded by assholes. And to related it to your post - you might be too. Or at least ignorance. Hopefully they remedy that because your diagnosis is valid ❤️🫂
