Okay, I hate most things, but having been misdiagnosed as bipolar twice, (And you better believe I gave them what for the second time. They tried it get me to fill out a grievance, but I told them I never wanted to see that incompetent quack again; not even for her to apologize.) and assigned “dialectical therapy” at the third one, (which requires you to identify your emotions. Newsflash, morons, like most people on the spectrum, I don’t know what I’m feeling, if anything, 90% of the freaking time.) I flat out dread going to psychiatrist number four next week.
From what I’ve read on r/aspergirls, it is waaay too common that adult females with ASD get misdiagnosed as borderline, antisocial, bipolar, and having various anxiety disorders or ADHD. If I weren’t trying for SSI, I wouldn’t even f!@#ing bother.
And that’s another thing. Just having my therapist’s word that I have ASD is enough to get me my ADA bus pass, a service dog, (If I could afford one, or afford to have Lupa trained), low income housing if I wanted it, a pass for exclusion from the food stamps work program thingy, and a job counselor if I had a job, (the tell my employer what they could reasonably expect and not expect me to do). - But to get any actual financial assistance, I have wait for years, go through appeals until I’m blue in the f!@#ing face, and come up with enough “proof” that I have a disability to satisfy some pasty faced old narcissistic judge.
Which is the sole reason that I have an appointment with psychiatrist number four. To maybe get something on a medical record stating that I have this neurological issue that everybody already knows that I have.
It’s beyond stupid. People literally die in this country, waiting for SSI to approve them for things like terminal cancer. - No, I’m not exaggerating. If you are lucky enough to live in some other part of the world, praise your good fortune or the intelligent decision that got you there; because the US f!@#ing SUCKS.
There are assholes who wear shirts or post memes that say “If this flag offends you I’ll help you pack”, and similar stupidities. - Newsflash, pea brain, if I could afford to leave I’d have done so a looong time ago; and I’d bet you my left arm that’s true for a LOT more people who have been f!@#ed over by the lack of medical care and disability support here. - When a disability prevents you from working, you can’t exactly beg your way into Canada. That only works if you’re from a country with refugee status; which the US by all rights certainly ought to be, but isn’t.
Proud to be American = Useless, empty headed, twat. You might as well be proud to be caucasian, or anything else that you were born into and had zero to do with. - Oh wait, they are. Notice that these same idiots aren’t ever proud to have all of their teeth, or proud to be college graduates, or even proud to not be alcoholic smokers; because none of those things are usually true.
They can’t be proud of anything that they have any control over, because all of that tends to be a shameful mess.

I came here to try to make a list of things that I could tell the psychiatrist, to maybe sway him or her in the direction of an accurate diagnosis. Now I think I’d be better off making that a separate entry.
