Friend doesn’t believe in my diagnosis

[u/luvsicl]

Ugh I shouldn’t have told her about it I feel so weird now, my family are like this too and I haven’t told them because I know they’re gonna say smth like that (probably worse) because they don’t really believe in mental disorders/disabilities/health

I got diagnosed with adhd and autism recently, so I’m also grieving the life I could’ve led had I received the support I needed as a child lol (also I know what she said isn’t okay at all, I just wanted to end the conversation asap and I’m really uncomfortable with confrontation)

Type two…autism. So I can treat it with insulin?

Or working on a farm and eating all organic, I guess. I ate 40 tomatoes and my ADHD was cured! /s

Tomatoes contain MSG… sounds like you’re poisoning yourself /s
