we had an autistic kid in my class whose parents insisted on him not getting diagnosed officially

6 days

so that he could be in a normal class

that means that when someone says autisim they could mean me or screeching whale kid

Also now kids in the US are screened at 2 years old so there's way more diagnosis now

oh well idc

i wish i was normal but

oh well

I wish I got diagnosed officially when I was a kid

tbh i would have probably been diagnosed as an autist as a kid

i think thats true for a fair handful tho

i was diagnosed at like 3 and then again last year

since everyone is so happy to like 'over diagnose'

so im confirmed tard

Tbh the more people who are diagnosed the less of a stigma it will have

There is no diagnosis possible after 2-ish years

im still gonna make fun of autistic children

Not official diagnosis

in canada there is

i went to a 5 week long mental examination

last winter

thats pretty autistic

yeah its bc i kept getting in trouble

a 5 week long?

So Canada doesn't use the DSM?

with the law and school and shit so they sent me there to figure out what kinda tard i was

was it like a concentration camp

yeah it was actually

nice

we were never allowed to leave

gas the socially inept tbh

or go on the computer

^

or anything

rude

>not allowed to go on the computer

we were given radios and books

sounds hellish

If we gassed the socially inept I could start up the podcast again

that was it

The biggest autist in my class has hair down to his neck and a massive neck beard that looks like it hasn't been shaved in a year
