I've always felt different from a young age, like i was just slower than other kids. I never felt 'normal'. It was only a few years later when I heard people talking about adhd and autism that I realised that might be what caused me to feel so different. I kept it to myself for a while until I started asking my mom if i could try getting a diagnosis. shes the type of person to think that "autistic kids are all stupid" or something, and since "i'm not stupid, i can't be autistic". ive tried for years, she just wont believe me. we tried once, going to a psychologist so i could tell her what i thought was wrong, but she, just like everyone else, didn't believe me. ive had people tell me to go to a school councillor and ask them for help with this, i doubt they'd believe me. nobody ever believes me, not my mom, not my psychologists, and probably not my teachers or school. i'll probably just wait until im 18 so i can just go and get a diagnosis myself. im so tired
