my parents have been refusing to get me a proper diagnosis for autism because I don't have the same symptoms as my brother, and they're only NOW giving me one but its not even for autism its for asperger's " oh but anon if you get diagnosed with asperger's that's an autism diagnosis!! " I get that. yes. but my mom's only saying I have Asperger's because she looked up asperger's symptoms in TEEN GIRLS and didn't even bother to look up autism symptoms in teen girls. she's only giving me an asperger's diagnosis because, like I said earlier, my symptoms don't line up with my brothers and its pissing me off the " you're not autistic, you don't have the same symptoms as your brother " argument is genuinely upsetting because its called autism spectrum disorder for a reason. symptoms of autism in women are different from symptoms of autism in men and its nsojnsjgfns i feel like im not being taken seriously.
