This, right here, makes me wish I could read the rest.. To see what your ultimate position is in the least on the inconsistent public research.

But more importantly, the excessive time it can take to reach full awareness and taking autism seriously. It took me 4-5 years. The only reason I feel that my care provider(s) failed in a way that needs to be held accountable isn’t to file a lawsuit.

It’s because I see mental healthcare through the lens of responsibility. They are responsible for the quality of my care just like regular physicians are. In my opinion, five years of not accommodating in itself is neglect given the scale of what the delay and neglect have revealed.

Permanent damage to my socioeconomic integration before diagnosis and after to this very day. I don’t want to intimate lawsuits. I want integrated into society. I need my monotropism interests accommodated and I have evidence in the form of an informal theory (Monotropism Employment Theory).

The neglect is real. It’s a serious healthcare problem. And if someone doesn’t speak up and/or work to fix it, autistic quality of life will continue to suffer. Including mine.

Who can we turn to?

Who can I turn to in my moment of need..? Because I’m asking.
