the mere knowledge that there exist people who are attractive, especially "more attractive than me", and that i can't ever hope to be wanted by, is enough to ruin my whole week

re: autism, medical bureaucracy
my therapist (who i haven't seen in quite a while now actually) always just kinda dismissed this thought when i'd bring it up, but i think it actually gives pretty good answers to a lot of questions he's asked me over the years that i'd never had a good answer for before
autism, medical bureaucracy
on the one hand it would explain:
1. a lot of weird conversational habits i have
2. my various hypersensitivities
3. my near constant feeling of miscommunication with nearly everyone except very few friends and family members
4. my hyperfixations
5. my creepiness (i.e. totally not understanding social cues) back in high school and maybe today too
6. masking: a thing i only recently learned has a name but that i've been doing for years and calling "pretending to be normal and hoping i don't weird others out"
on the other hand: i'm pretty sure the only definition of autism that's accepted in this country is the....,,, classical one, let's call it, and is usually reserved for children only for some reason???? so idk how to even check if i'm right??????

(nicely circling back to my top two emotional needs: feeling healthy, and more importantly, feeling attractive)
re: privilege, re: medical bureaucracy
also part of me feels like this is a bad use of my savings (cause who's to say this is actually urgent? i've been living with these pains for months now, what's a few more? don't i need that money for my future?) but i also think that maybe this is that future where i need money for an Important Thing such as for example the ability to use my hands and to work out
privilege, re: medical bureaucracy
anyway it's much cheaper than i anticipated. like, more expensive than anything i'd buy rn, but cheap enough that i actually have the money
i'm a weird lil dogo and this is where i sadpost
