Re: The ASD thread (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
Any of the symptoms I could be treated for wouldn't really be symptoms of autism. They would probably be loosely linked to it, but the things I struggle with are all mental health related.
The thought that an autism diagnosis would result in me being less likely to be offered mental health support is worrying. I don't understand why people are losing access to mental health services when given a diagnosis. Why? Does it make you more treatment resistant to the usual CBT approach? I wouldn't be asking them to "cure" autism, it's the additional mental health issues that I would seeking treatment for. I have already been diagnosed with BPD (as they used to call it). Apart from DBT based group therapy which wasn't that helpful. The BPD is what causes me the most distress. I don't really want to lose that diagnosis and be told that it's just who I am and I'm just "different". Don't get me started on "workplace adjustments". A diagnosis would just mean HR departments now have to be more creative when ****ing you over. If a company want's rid they'll still find a way. Whether it's discrimination or not normally depends on how good a solicitor you can afford. "Workplace adjustments" tend to mean subtlety making your life a living hell until you finally quit. |
