I try to remember that too, but the larger problem also pisses me off so doesn’t do a lot of good, tbh (This society represses more citizens than it uplifts, we need major paradigm shifts across the board, but I’m sure you know already…)

I thought I’d get a bipolar tossed out for describing my very large range of feelings, but it was just, “depression??,” despite really not fitting the requirements. They’re often just guessing, and usually after asking very few questions. We neeeeeed a new system, in this case one where autistic ppl in need of therapy have access to autistic therapists who know what tf we’re talking about. It’d be amazing to not have to tell my shrink what autism really means 😅

Thank you for sharing, hope today’s treating you well!
