New member, maybe on the spectrum.

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I'm Vic, a new member here. I'm 19 and from Australia.

I think I may be on the autism spectrum but at the same time I am unsure, so I am here just to understand it better. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and Avoidant Personality Disorder.

This psychologist I was seeing said I might be autistic as well, and wanted to assess me for it or something... Except somehow they didn't, and I couldn't bring myself to ask. Instead they tried to do hypnotherapy on me and I decided that I hated them so I don't see them anymore. I'm actually kinda suspicious that my mum is somehow involved in this because she sees that psychologist as well. I told her on several occasions that I might be autistic and she just dismisses me by saying, "You're just unique in your own special way!! !"

But yeah, hi!

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey Vic, people are often dismissive of the idea that their loved ones, friends or even they themselves could have autism, it's quite common actually. My parents are similar in that respect.
In any case, welcome. Regardless of your final diagnosis, may this be the right planet for you.

Hey Vic welcome.

Thank you everyone

Yeah I hate it when people say they care about me but they actually don't really because they dismiss everything I try to tell them... And I think my dad might be autistic as well, he's got a lot of traits, but I don't talk to him about anything so I'm too afraid to bring it up to him :0
