I was diagnosed with autism at a young age, but now....

Doctors said I was suffering from autism when I was little. There was one doctor when I was a year and half and my mother took me to him and he slaps a label on me before she even tells him about my history and she just thanks him and leaves while in her mind she was thinking "Thank you for placing a label on my daughter before you even hear her history you bastard." After that she never trusted anyone else about doctors so my mother found them on her own. She even told me recently that doctor said I was going to be in a institution and would never talk and take care of myself.

Then when I was four or five, it was "autistic behavior" because I had hearing loss and I was labeled multi handicapped. I never asked my mother about that word though. Then I was diagnosed with AS at age 12. I was hard to diagnose because of my past.

I have improved signnificantly since I was diagnosed at the age of 11 in many ways but I have become more socially anxious recently and that has seemed to have slowed down the improvements and I can see myself almost going back a year or so, not that I mind though as I'm still barely noticable anyway (if I do say so myself)
