this is more of a rant but CW for bad textures, specifically dirty dishes and stuff like that i hate my mom's logic. "i don't think youre autistic but i do believe you have sensory issues especially around dirty dishes and loading the dishwasher that make you want to have a meltdown but i dont care, you're going to load the dishwasher anyway and then i'll make fun of you for complaining about it." this happens with so many other things, too. she doesnt believe im autistic but then judges me for things i do because of my autism some examples include: -swaying/rocking back and forth -not being able to make friends with people different from me -being a very picky eater and not easily willing to try new foods there's also talking fast but that's probably because i also most likely have ADHD. and there's so many other things she judges me for that arent my fault. i dont understand how she sees me do all of these things but then says "there is no way you have autism."

      that's my moms reason, too. she used to be a teachers aid and then a job coach for disabled people. she thinks that because she worked with them she knows more than a doctor, and it can be so infuriating

      Straight up I've just stopped talking to my mom because she thinks she knows me better than myself and professional psychiatrists.

      i’ve withheld my diagnosis from my mother for reasons like this, brought up the idea of it the other day and she decided to list all the reasons she thought i couldn’t be autistic (she’s a social worker so she thinks she is right in everything mental health wise) it’s very invalidating and triggering. i’m sorry you have to go through this.
