FINALLY!! I feel so happy right now. Idk exactly what to do. I'm just very excited. Me and my mom are both super happy. I feel so validated. My mom does too. It doesn't really feel like anything has changed.
I hope I didn't fake anything. I sometimes worry that this is all faked. But now that I have the diagnosis, I'm safe, right?
So glad this is all over. I'm so glad that they believed me.
I'm super tired. I feel like this will be a new "obsession". I'm not really too shocked, though. The test results were what I expected. My IQ is a little above average, my vocabulary is good, but I can't do things very fast. Basically confirmed what I already knew about myself. Apparently, I can also get a scholarship through my school (which I'm homeschooled, but I can get it through the public school) which we can use to pay for therapy.
I'm also embracing that I have high cognitive empathy (I can see why people feel a certain way) but low emotional empathy(i don't feel their emotions). I thought it made me evil for the longest time, and people told me I was a narcissist, because I knew about people and their situations but didn't really feel bad.
What does it mean to be autistic? I'm still not sure. At least, now I know something about myself. My little treasure that no one can take away.
hopefully this isn't bad that I feel this way
