I am not officially diagnosed as autistic, only self-diagnosed via RAADS. My therapist applied a general psychological test, because apparently he isn't qualified to do a specialized test for ADHD/Autism/other neurodivergencies, and (more likely mis-)diagnosed me with Schyzotypal Personality Disorder. My psychiatrist thinks he is right, because I dress weird, and I am quirky and a leftist (her words mildly distorted, but still pretty accurate to what she implied). I don't think he is right, so I told him I would seek specialized diagnosis at least to discard the possibility of autism, and he supports my choice.
My only option in my country is, apparently, an NGO specialized in... autistic children.
Dear reader, I am 25 years old. I pay for my own medical treatments. I am pretty much on my own in seeking this diagnosis. But what else can I do?
I called this NGO. They told me to send them an email with my inquiries. I send the email. They tell me to contact them through WhatsApp. I send a WhatsApp message. They ask me, and I am not kidding, for THE LEGAL GUARDIAN'S EMAIL ADDRESS AND THE PERSONAL INFORMATION OF THE PATIENT to send the information over VIA EMAIL. I am STILL WAITING FOR THE INFORMATION. I just want to get tested, but the real autism test was reaching a therapist to get tested!
By now I want to walk straight into their building, get the manager to go full Karen on their ass. Jesus fuck. Only a neurotypical would think that such a stupid system was a good idea and only another neurotypical would go through with this nonsense without loosing their ever-loving shit.
And yeah if something is like grammatically incorrect or weird or anything, my mother tongue is Spanish, don't correct me, I've got no respect for this nonsensical language.
