Recently a couple of the autistic kids I work with have inspired me with openly, unapologetically owning it.

Like one kid saying “if I don’t make eye contact it’s because I find that hard and it’s easier to concentrate on what you’re saying if I’m not looking at you.”

And another one asking for clarification of an ambiguous statement to check understanding instead of just hoping for the best.

And one saying “I’m going to stim now, this conversation is hard”

I have so much respect for them for being able to voice those things! It’s inspired me to try harder to do that instead of masking until I meltdown because I’m so scared of how people will react.

camhs thought they were playing games when they made me wait over a year and then asked me to “have a think about it” upon being given an update

#anyways discharged MYSELF because he proceeded to tell me #that sometimes it can ‘feel like paranoia/hallucinations’ when you’re neurodivergent #AUTISM DOESNT CASUALLY COME WITH HALLUCINATIONS ALAN #thank god i have a therapist online that doesnt work in the uk because whys that the uk’s only available option #was talking to my partner ab this todsy and she found a bunch of news articles about camhs being shit #have they actually helped anyone ever or do they treat us all like we 5 💔💔💔#camhs #kelper yaps

i've reached the level of autistic burnout now that i now have to go to camhs for 2 1/2 hours every week and exist in a supervised room. they give me stim toys and places to sit and music and arts and craft stuff and just let me stim and unmask. it's pretty cool tbh

tomorrow im going to go to my old school counsellor and tell her i think i have emerging bpd. i trust her shes seen me during both of my ODs and i trust her to be confidential (cant say the same for my current school)

i think i have enough symptoms (?) to warrant investigation. here are some because im not really sure and tumblr has seen me at my lowest low

i getr into an online relationship, obsess over them for a day or a few before feeling suffocated and ghosting them completely

ill do just about anything in the name of self destruction (SH, seeking out older men, skipping school)

my emotions change like english weather (as you can see by last night? i think it was where i went on a rant about how no one loves me but then felt reasonably fine a few hours later or an hour ago where the same thing happened)

i am extremely scared of being abandoned and i am aware to outsiders that it seems that im delusional when i say everyone hates me (they do even the ones who only say nice things to me)

when i have a bsf its impossible for me to see anything negative in them but when i see something ill cut them off and only see them as a traitor

i really do want help even if it doesnt seem like it

beef with the local council 1

okay so following my asd diagnosis through camhs in september, my mom requested an ehcna in january. as i was now 16, they refused to start the process until i’d signed my consent, and they also sent a fairly passive-aggressive email about how as i was 16 i could request one myself. anyway, i signed my consent and the process started. week 6 comes along and they refuse to assess because ‘while we agree molly has/may have sen, her needs can be met in a mainstream environment with normal provision’. this is obviously not the case so we went to mediation.

by the time mediation came around, it was early may. this meeting was a shitshow and according to miss m the mediator was biased towards the council but my mom thinks he was diplomatic so i’m unsure. essentially, the council believed that there wasn’t enough evidence for the graduated approach as i hadn’t seen either an ep or the asd team (both of these run by the la) - even though up until three months ago i was having fortnightly sessions with an asd-specialised clinical psychologist and am having ongoing appointments with a consultant psychiatrist every 6-8 weeks. i said to the guy from the council ‘so because camhs are separate to the council you’re ignoring them?’. he backtracked but it was a load of waffle. anyway, they decided not to assess. i personally cba with tribunal as i am in year 11, but idk what my mom will say.
