Your diagnosis is just an excuse to not do things that you don’t want to do!!! What do you mean you “can’t” do them??? I can do them and I’m not even trying that hard!!!

You’re applying for disability? But you can work with kids!!! Sounds like you’re just giving up.

Mom before diagnosis: Very accepting, friendly teasing.

Mom after diagnosis: Pretends I don't exist, forces me to be in uncomfortable situations, "come on, [name]! Even though I have memory problems too, having a list is unnecessary! Now, do all your chores in alphabetical order in thirty minutes, something no human being can do, because clearly being autistic means you can do all this better than everyone!! Why aren't you talking?? Grounded lol!"
