i have quite obvious classic autism and a mild intellectual disability which affects my functioning quite strongly so i have to have significant support and live in 24hr care,so-i dont have issues where those conditions are concerned apart from when some people whove only ever worked in mental health think i could do a lot more than what i do which is very frustrating because i cannot do the things they say such as tying laces [my brain cannot process multiple steps because of being overloaded by information], writing [ive never been able to write because of the ID], putting on clothes independantly and personal care independantly.
i wish they could experience my life and see what its like.

now when it comes to my very severe anxiety-i REALLY struggle to get understood,because of my autism i physically or verbally cannot express my feelings so when im suffering from very severe anxiety and i say 'ive got severe anxiety,need lorazepam' they say 'really? its that bad? you dont look anxious'.
so i end up banging my head,biting myself and speed rocking and getting into a panic attack.
ive had my pyschiatrist tell me i didnt have a panic attack when i did because it lasted two hours and required paramedic support,i felt like thumping her, though to be fair shes full of BS and i feel like thumping her every time, shes so arrogant and doesnt listen.
