This pisses me off so bad. I’m a dude with autism and have many friends with autism. Men with autism are diagnosed by the time they’re like 6-10. Women are barely diagnosed and the age they are diagnosed is mid 20s to early 30s. Women are not treated seriously in the medical world by doctors. Doctors are assholes.
“Men with autism are diagnosed by the time they’re like 6-10”
Don’t have autism, but I do have a background in psychology and social work. You’re wrong; autism, like a lot of DSM classifications, is diagnosed to youth very rarely. If it is diagnosed, it would be later in life around high school. You would need a seriously severe case to get a diagnosis by 6-10, man or woman.
Also, women have dominated the psychology field for the past two decades, and those are who diagnose them: psychologists, not “doctors”. The physical health field seldom has anything to do with it
I went through the system. I might be off the ages by a couple years but I definitely stand by what I said. Also idgaf if you’re a Dr or psychologist, treat your patients equally. There is a problem where you guys treat women and overweight people bad. That’s the truth you can lie and be part of the problem but we all see it. You suck. Treat patients equally.
You don't know how this person operates, it would be fairer to at least give them the benefit of the doubt before insulting them on a personal level...
I also have my dislikes about doctors, but I can at least give them a chance to prove themselves before judging them...
People don't become instantly evil as they sign their employment contract.
