Hey!

If there's confusion related to the title,its just a reference that the system has won, I lost, once again.

So my paid for professional diagnosis is done for now, I am refused the official recognition as an Autist. It's all still there though.

I am livid. And empty.

I guess it's my fault since >40 years of adapting and masking can make you too social, that's what it broke down to. I am friendly and open and excel at masking.

They don't see the price I (we) pay.

Apologies for the rant. I need your support.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's not your fault, it's that whoever assessed you did not have a good understanding of autistic masking (nor how difficult it can be to stop masking once you've been doing it for decades - it's not like there's an on/off switch...).
