Do you ever think that maybe a diagnosis you received may have come back to bite you?

I’m on the autism spectrum, with very low support needs. My health care provider has that in my medical records. Now I’m worried that I’m going to disappear into some camp, and my wife will never know what happened.
The psychologist who did like a shortened test on me actually recommended against going further and also getting diagnosed by a psychiatrist if I don’t want any official support. Just not worth a lifetime of discrimination within the medical system. I’m noticing it happening with my ADHD diagnosis. That one’s worth the discrimination though, since the treatment is a life saver (potentially literally).
Agreed, treatment changed my ADHD life. And it’s still nowhere near removing all of the symptoms
Why?
RFKjr is setting up autism registration and he’s already proposed to send neurodivergent people to farms. It’s pure Nazi eugenics.
My pet goldfish was also sent to a farm when I was a kid. Sending people to farms sounds like a euphemism for extermination.
I did a search, and discovered articles pointing to sending addicts to farms. I couldn’t find anything similar for neurodivergent people.
Can you link something?
RFK considers people with ADHD who are perscribed stimulants to be addicts
Ffs America you’re supposed to be setting the example here
Lmao, when?
Yah, well, this time the US is invading the US to give it some much needed ‘freedom.’

I know my wife wishes she had never been officially diagnosed with depression, as it precludes her from some jobs she wanted to apply for. How true this is is reality, I don’t know.
I’m 50/50. On one hand it’s interesting and good to know about yourself and your issues but it is a double-ended sword. I was diagnosed with ASPD a little while back among other things and while I’m glad I understand the root for a lot of my problematic traits I now also have a piece of paper that makes me look bad if I have to go to court.
I wish I straight up just didn’t have the things I was diagnosed with. The diagnosis themselves haven’t changed anything other than now I at least know I am not a piece of shit on purpose.
I’m really feeling this, man.
I get this. All the time.
Is it the depression or is it just me? Am I just a piece of shit?
Celiac is a real pain in the ass and makes me sound unhinged at a restaurant.
How would it be better if you hadn’t been diagnosed?
I guess I was thinking if I didn’t have it, which means I could eat everything without having to ask a million questions or carefully researching products/ingredients.
If I wasn’t diagnosed but still had it, I’d be very sick and malnourished.
Are you severe? Any complications as a result?
I’m not sure if I’m severe - I get a three-day migraine that is not unresponsive to medication if I eat gluten. 🤷 I was vitamin deficient and had damage to my intestines, but that’s fixed now. I have a lot of other weird food stuff going on, but am still unclear if it is even related. The biggest complication is not being able to eat out easily. And I’m that person at parties that I brings their own food.
I’m so used to not eating out, eating at family gatherings. Cooking everything from scratch with salt only. Low fodmap, low sugar, low fat. I have SIBO. Liver issues, kidney failure, migraines, basically systemic issues. Can’t tolerate anything hardly at all. Top 9 allergen free. I feel like a basket case of issues with mine. So I was curious about you.
Oh! I didn’t realize it can cause other things. I have hashimotos, can’t eat soy or animal products and am dizzy sometimes when holding completely still. You are not alone - I just didn’t connect all of mine with celiac.
I am really glad and very priveleged to have been diagnosed with ADHD. However, I worry that my official diagnoses might put me in danger soon
Had a hard time figuring out life in my early 20’s. Sought help, and got a mental health diagnosis and some meds that I took for a while. 20 years later it’s clear that it was either a misdiagnosis of simple existential angst, or I figured shit out in the meantime. Paying 40% more for life insurance and need reports from the doctor I haven’t seen in 18 years each time I have to renew security clearance.
It’s good to know that I was diagnosed with food allergies. I might not have ever known what was making me feel horrible all this time.
It ain’t nothing, but fuckin eczema lol. Gotta lotion up every day and even then, sometimes you get random flare ups.
I will never be able to get a small engine private pilot license due to fainting, despite it literally never happening unless I’m standing up…
Airplanes pull G, making it far more intense than being standing. You would absolutely faint in a plane; this one is kinda fair, sorry bud.
I’ve got 10 hours in a little ultralight. Pre-diagnosis. I’m not looking to fly a jet fighter. I get more G’s in a hang glider.
I wish I hadn’t been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis but mostly I wish I didn’t have it

Depression 100% I have lost so much of my youth to it, and even now with my meds and lifestyle changes it still finds its way back into my life. Hell, depression is the reason why I’m 21 and still in highschool! It’s an awful condition
