5 Reasons Not to Seek an Adult Autism Diagnosis

There are many adults realizing they have had Autism all along, and thinking about getting a diagnosis. I am diagnosed. For me the pros outweighed the cons. But it’s important that you know the cons as you’re deciding whether or not to get an Autism Assessment.

Disabled

Disabled is not a bad word.

Disability is neutral; it’s not bad or good, it’s just a part of life. It’s not a choice. Treating it as if it is shameful or bad is ableism.

The problem is that disabled people are not included in society. We’re not included in plans for spaces or communities. We’re not included in having our basic needs met and our voices heard.

I Make and Share

I make art and I share in little doses. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. I educate on my experiences and knowledge with Autism, etc.
