#1 reason I don’t trust most neurotypical mental health professionals

they use the fact that you were able to ask for help as proof that you don’t actually need help

This is almost word-for-word something I have heard in class.

you know what I’m editing my reblog to add that I and more than one of my friends have been told, and I quote, “you’re too self-aware to be autistic.” 

this is just a form of that whole “mentally ill individuals don’t know they’re ill” and it’s fucking infuriating

This is part of why I never seek help until I’m so far gone that I’m sobbing in the office. I fear no one will believe me if I seek help sooner.
