Not to sound fucking insane but I don't. I don't think it should be allowed to diagnose a kid with autism,,,, officially

#I mean like kids under the age of like. 10 #and the second equally important part of this is that after age 10 it has to be a) the kids choice if they have an official diagnosis #and b) if they say they don't want it then there's absolutely nothing on their record abt it #I say this bc I got my autism diagnosis n my life immediately started getting worse like. As soon as people #(cough teachers cough) find out I'm autistic I start to get treated like shit #it's helpful for some things..like I get allowances other people don't n I get extra time on tests n shit #but for me personally. The cons outweigh the pros and I want the diagnosis gone #I'd have said the same at age 12 when I got it #like. Having an autism diagnosis is a Big Thing and for a lot of people it actively causes issues #u shouldn't be able to just give that to a kid who doesn't really understand what it means #obviously there are other sides to this argument but this is just. What I wish had happened w me #I don't think I can get rid of the autism diagnosis when I get older and that makes me go like. :/ #I wish I'd had a choice #sep thoughts #if u rb u have to add my tags I don't want to be tumblr bullied for things I've already clarified
