So my psychiatrist is insistent that I have autism....

But I noticed that when I'm talking to her,
She jumps to conclusions and I'm the one who has to tell her to see nuances and a broader picture to what I'm trying to explain....

Yeah, seems legit 🤔

(Yeah yeah, I'm still ruminating about the appointment I had with her nearly 6 months ago... It's eating me, aight? Just let me vent.
She actually pretty nice, I'm just annoyed).

Wow to get diagnosed with autism here you have to go through very specific tests that cost thousands of dollars that aren't covered by our national health insurance.

Nuances??? I mean yeah you could be autistic.... it's apparently harder to diagnose in women than with men but I think it would take more than noticing some nuances that you have to point out xD

@MrBlueGuy Yeah, you need a test here too...

I was tested for ADHD, which I relate to (and the meds are helping)
but she is keeps mentioning ASD, and says on my assessment report that I was previously diagnosed with it, which isn't true (it was only pointed out by a therapist that I seen a few times)
And I've asked her multiple times to change that on the report because it's not true, but it seems to just blow over the top of her head :I
