I’m 13, been seeing her for maybe two years. My mom, like a year ago was like “my daughter (imm trans, so son) thinks she’s autistic and she genuinely believed it! There’s no way she’s autistic she was so social as a kid!” And like that basically my psychiatrist agreed with her… recently my psychiatrist told me that my mom is saying that because she doesn’t want to believe that there’s anything wrong with me (which I totally get it . My mom does that). Besides the point—

She says I’m neurodivergent. I told her not to tell my mom and not to write it down. Is it still like a diagnosis? She didn’t even say if it was autism or adhd or anything (I’m diagnosed OCD btw) and basically we talked about fidgeting, sensory issues, the way I think. She basically taught me that NTs think differently and that their rules in society don’t make sense to people like me and explained stuff (I didn’t remember what she said) so like yeah is that diagnosis

I’m also super sure i’m autistic, I’ve been researching since I was 10. I also have a special interest on psychology (and I study mostly about the prefrontal cortex and frontal lobes) so I know a thing or two about neurodivergence and the brain. Past videoed, talking to people I was raised with, yeah a lot
