Top 10 Things That Happen After You Get Diagnosed with Autism

I was shocked because I'd never expected to have autism. I've always known I'm different to other people but this was really shocking.

Parents are even more shocked

Example: Why you got in trouble for saying the wrong thing in a certain situation & why it wasn't as nice as you thought.

Family members understand why being in a restaurant is torture because it's too loud.

You get supported to find a job which works for you.

I went to therapy and it made me feel like a baby, so I quit going. That and the therapist got mad when she forced me to eat a raisin (I hate fruit) and I accidentally spit it into her bra.

I took therapy after I was diagnosed and it helped me a lot

The people who work there want to help you

I went years ago ever 1-4 weeks and all we did was talk about my life and what annoys me and what I can do to deal with it (eg. tell relatives that baby talk is annoying and request them to stop). I tried those techniques but my mom didn’t approve of them despite the fact that they actually work. It’s pointless and a big waste of my time and life. DON’T GO!

This is very important. I don't want to be completely changed just because of my autism.

I felt really bad for a long time because I didn't know why I got so often misunderstood, disliked & also bullied.

Now I know it. It's not a reason to bully someone. There is no reason to bully someone.

Maybe dealing with lot's of strangers (as example doctors) you don't know & much more.

Some of my friends are autistic

I am against them. I took them in elementary school, and I suffered from side effects that I still experience today, despite the fact that I stopped taking them over 10 years ago.

I will 1 day take legal action and sue these drugs! I deserve compensation for my suffering! >:(

I don't take mine, I refuse to be drugged because I'm different
