Ok, I had a preauricular sinus, which I have had removed because of later complications (apparently is more common, but I can't find the specific data) and probably dyspraxia (of which diagnosis I won't seek, as I have already had enough trouble with the great Slovenian medical system (at least we have public health insurance)(as you can see, I also can't shut up if that's in the DSM)).
To clarify. Me and most of my family live in Slovenia (a country which claims to be progressive, but discrimination (especially against autistic people) is still very prevalent). I was diagnosed at 3 years of age (without my consent of course). In primary school she (my mother) disclosed my diagnosis without my consent which led to me being treated like people with down syndrome (despite my above average grades). In high school I explicitly asked her not to disclose it, but she did it anyway (since I already proved my intelligence, I'm now treated like I have schizophrenia). When I confronted her about it, she just acted like I didn't say anything. If that wasn't enough, I failed my car medical exam as the examiner claimed I was stupid, which led me to a psychological exam, where the psychologist claimed I don't take responsibility for my actions (which is why I believe I failed) despite me never accusing anyone else of anything. Now I'm forced to retake it in one year (and hope I get treated fairly next time).
This was suggested to me by @[email protected].
PS:I know it's a way too long post and doesn't belong here, but it is what it is.
I have completely stopped using google services and software on my personal devices (even have lineageos + microg on my phone. The problem is that I can't just explain to the technically uneducated people that I changed mail providers. How should I go about doing this?
Hello. I'm looking for a more private (for obicous reasons) and fast discord client for android, since the app is terrible and preforms terribly on my relatively old phone. I can't change to something like matrix/signal, since I can't convert other people.
Examples:
Yesterday I was at a health evaluation for a driver's license. Everything went well with my physical health, but at questioning, my autism was bought up. I was accused of needing help with learning in primary school (despite of my grades, that were usually B (I know, I'm lazy)) and now I need a psychological evaluation.
When I started high school, most professors infantalized me, but later stopped after I proved myself (ok, some didn't stop, like the slovene teacher and the sport teacher/coach).
When I meet someone new, they always think I am intelectually disabled, before proving otherwise...
Why is this happening?
Edit: It means a lot to talk to people who support me trough this (even if only on the internet). I took a psychological evaluation today. It included an iq test like form (easy, but didn't finish the whole paper), questionairs and some cordination tests (that in my opinion I was bad at). Just waiting to get the results. Hopefully I'll pass, but I can't really do anything if I don't, can just maybe try somewhere else in the EU (i think).
I am finding, that i get easily manipulated, aspecially when it comes to other people's enjoyment. I usually know, when it's happening and still go along with it. This is supposed to be a lightharted post (not asking for help or empathy, I just hope to know more).
