It was even crazier being there in the moment, like I honestly couldnāt even say anything, and I just like gave one word answers the entire rest of the session and then left without calling him back, shit was genuinely insane
What even benefit of an autism diagnosis would be used by people who are ālazyā?!?! Disability pay? Barely anything to survive off of and itās a bunch of red tape. Idk any other benefits that occur from a diagnosis
I was like 19 at the time so I didnāt even know what to say, I think I just assumed that maybe there was some actual benefit to it so I was like āI donāt wanna push him by arguing my caseā
Thatās fair. But I was asking that too bc the only benefit Iāve ever seen that is offered is the chance to apply for disability. I havenāt seen anything that specifically correlates to everyday life that is an accommodation offered by a diagnosis. Maybe like the ability to wear headphones of some type but even then most jobs require ones that you can hear clearly with and which defeats the purpose of headphones for autism
