Did you know?

Some U.S. states have registries and laws requiring that mental health professionals and physicians register autistic clients. They can be fined, disciplined, or lose their license if they don't report.

@actuallyautistic I’m in shock right now and feel like I could burst into tears…my parents and I are out at lunch, and my mom just asked me out of the blue, “what gives you joy?” And I said, “why are you asking me that?” She essentially responded by telling me that to her, I showed no evidence that I had any joy in my life, and that there is nothing that makes me happy.

I’m at a loss for words.

@chevalier26 May be you were unable to answer on the spot because of a delayed process of information, being overwhelmed in a noisy (?) environment, alexithymia, etc.

A virtual hug for you if I can offer you one. 😊

I don't have the spoons to explain why I feel my neurodivergence is making this worse, but I need feedback or insight from other ND people on a unique experience. This will be a long thread (added in replies) but I'm hopeful there will be a few kind readers who either relate or have something supportive to share.
Here goes:

@CynAq I relate so much to what you have written. In the last few months I went through a cancer journey and everywhere I read/heard “your support system is going to help you“ assuming everyone has one, like everyone I met assured that I have a licence and so I can go to my appointments.

But I don’t have a support group in person, except for the amazing health professionals who took care of me. The only support group I have is here in the autistic community. ❤️
