For some strange reason there are people who believe that they have a right to see your diagnosis to prove you're not self-diagnosed.
1. Self-diagnosis is valid.
2. No one has a right to see your diagnosis if they're not your doctor.

My partner lived on the opposite side of the world for 3 years without me, and yet now it takes me mere hours to start missing them. Emotions can be so annoying.
The Lancet's report has some good things in it, it really does, but all the talk about wanting Profound Autism to become a separate diagnosis taints it, and feels like such a step back. 1/2

I'm a great person for my friends to tell secrets to because I'll probably forget them within a week.

I find that if a loved one is depressed my depression kind of gets pushed to the back of my mind in order to help the other person. It's not exactly the healthiest way of dealing with my own depression.

While this is technically true you don't need to snuggle to have a healthy, happy relationship. Don't force yourself to snuggle if you don't want to.

When I first started being more open about being autistic it didn't take long before someone threw the "But you don't look autistic" line at me. I didn't know how to respond back then so I just seethed.

I'm a stickler when it comes to punctuality, so I can get pretty stressed about whether I'm late or not if I'm not given a specific time to show up.

This is a genuine question. I've had people give me this argument and it really confuses me.
How?
How can people who don't have access to certain services take those services away from others? It just makes no logical sense.

I'm glad that I'm currently on medication that helps with sudden mood shifts because with my current hormone changes I don't want to even think about how bad my mood swings would be.
