overview for ipd

I had one visit with a pcp, and then read his session notes because I could. It was obvious that he really didn't get what I said and instead reported that I was flakey, rather than consider that there was more depth than he could recognize. I wrote to correct him. I may have to teach him that diferent is not bad or dumb or a disability, it can also be a superpower. Just because I stim behind my back, doesnt mean that I can't understand particle physics and ask hard questions, or sometime overload and need to leave the room. Medicine is dumb.

You are right, yo don't want to fight me. As a camo I'm not exactly sure that my feelings are valid, even though my memories are sharp, and I know what I did would piss some people off. I mean, the past is the past and i'm not denying it happened. The reframe is comfort. Every day, millions of 'Oh yeah's.

I'm working on figure it out.

Thank you, interesting discussion. According to what I've been reading and the online tests, and a life review, I seem to be. I'm very late. I've read the book, "Is This Autism?" hy Henderson et al, and just about every page, I thought, that's me, I do that. they called me that. Simultaneously, remembering times way back in my life, where I was emulating and not being. Didn't realize I didn't know how, but made fairly good aprox'e. Right now, I at, "oh shit, I don't get it.
I looked into testing and how available it is to a geezer like me. Insurance companies have no respect for anyone but kids, where I live.
Ados2 module 4 is apparently the gold standard that insurance plans, reimburse inadequately.
The only medical necessity I can work out, is that I need it a dx so my pcp will accept the way I communicate and that there are certain dots I can't connect. and also my affectation is non-standard.
So, how do I present or say what I am, drop the camo, and be myself?
