I don't feel like I belong anywhere. I often feel like I am speaking a different language. Most people don't understand me and quite often don't want to. I know what support I need but can't access it because the clinic I went to for a diagnosis didn't agree with me. I feel like my life is falling apart. I feel the opposite of eloquent at the moment.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

Last doctor I saw just dismissed everything I said.
I realize now that he knew nothing about autism.
unless you're looking at the floor all the time, and you walk in looking like a Rain Man, they are not going to give you a diagnosis.
is it has to be so painfully obvious that you are autistic, in order to get a diagnosis, what is the point of having doctors?
every seven eleven clerk knows what a person with severe autism looks like.
maybe I should go get a diagnosis from one of those people.
