Tuafw the only things you knew about autism growing up where from Temple Grandin, but now you realize how much she enforces harmful stereotypes/ideas about autistics. And now you’re Mom thinks Temple Grandin is the ultimate guru when it comes to autism, and treats her experience as universal ( when it comes to “functioning autistics”) and her word like law. And you can’t do anything to correct it because “how would you know what it’s like?”

Tuafw you find out that it is super expensive for an assessment even though you are in a country that known for having covered health care. So now it will be years until you might be able to save enough to try for it.
