any advice??

Question

You see I have a lot of issues now to deal with. My parents think I am autistic when I really have a personality disorder. I am so mad I am furious that people think I am autistic. I used to want to be autistic so I would act out symptoms until I learned how stupid it was to act out a disorder I don't have. I don't have autism!!! Also I used to see this doctor I really liked then after I got out of the hospital my Mom took me to see this other doctor and I am so upset she got replaced! :( Please help any advice or ideas!

I am not autistic! I know it and I was acting it out! I can't just forget my psychologist she meant so much to me!

I am not relying on the interent for help. I am just gaining some advice I used to go to Psych central and several others till my parents told me no they get me doctors to talk to. I am mad at my new doctor because she replaced my old doctor! Any advice what I could do or say to my new doctor?

Answer 1

If you want to scare the crap out of them, point out that Cho (VT killer) was apparently misdiagnosed with autism and this is why his mental illness wasn't treated.

I'm not implying you would ever be violent, but if you are not autistic, then your true condition is being untreated. And that is very bad!

Answer 2

Whatever you did to make them think you were autistic, stop doing it if you can. You may have acted the part for so long that it is hard for you to act any other way. Don't be afraid to ask the Doctor for the help you may need even if its retesting. Think very carefully before you choose another ailment that you know nothing about to immulate. Parents are here to guide and direct you in a way that you make correct decisions. Don't be angry. If you think about it, you were playing, remember. Don't think negative, keep a positive mental attitude. Believe those things that be not as thought they were and they shall come to pass. If you believe you are not autistic, stop doing things that draw attention to you. Stop saying you have a personality disorder. Talk to your mom and see if she can get you back intouch with your previous doctor. If you don't tell her you are unhappy with your new doctor, she won't know it. Seek God and ask his help and be sincere. If you have not been introduced to religion ask your parents to take you to Sunday School and get you a bible and read it. My favorite verse is Psalm 23.

Answer 3

Stop playing games with yourself and others and stop worrying about what they say or think. Start doing what is right. Act in such a way that all their doubts will be removed. If you are not autistic, it will show. If you have a "personality disorder," stop leaning on that as a crutch and find a way get past that. You cannot allow a personality disorder to control your life. Overcome, bounce back, make a comeback and for pete's sake, believe in yourself! Find value in being you, not based on what others think but based on the fact that you are valuable!

Answer 4

If you don't feel like discussing your anger with your parents, try to find another adult whom you trust. A teacher at school? Maybe your school has a psychologist. But I wouldn't rely only on online forums for help.
Don't be ashamed to ask for this kind of help! I have been to various psychologists and am actually seeing a psychiatrist now. I am on medication, yes, to help me deal with some trauma in the past (my dad was abusive). These days, people are more open minded about mental health; you shouldn't be ashamed to ask for help.
As for now, try to figure out why you get so upset. Do things not seem fair? Maybe they aren't - maybe you should try to talk to your parents about what they're doing that makes you angry.
I also used to get very angry, and I'm in college, still trying to deal with it. Please, get help. I know your favorite doctor is gone, but there are lots of good doctors out there. Trust someone!

Answer 5

So you have been in a mental hospital and have been tested, right? And you were diagnosed with autism.....not a personality disorder.

Do you not like this therapist because he/she doesn't agree with YOUR self-diagnosis?

Why don't you just try to do what the doctors want you to do? Instead of fighting them? You will find you'll probably get better with their diagnosis and treatment....not yours.

Answer 6

so who diagnosed your autism? who diagnosed your personality disorder? You need to be having this discussion with a therapist or a doctor. And you need to lay off blaming people for things you bring on yourself. Your parents obviously care, they wouldn't be providing you with treatment if they did not. So, get a grip, and talk to the doctor.

Answer 7

are you positive you are not autistic (maybe mildly) and you had other symptoms besides the ones you were acting out? if you are deal with it so it can be treated correctly. if you are positive you are not tell your parents what you were doing. and ask them to take you to be evaluated by a specialist!

Answer 8

Tell your mom you need a different therapist. Bite the bullet, quit play-acting and let someone help you live up to your potential.

Answer 9

I think that you should sit down your parnets and calmy explain to them what your feelings are and maybe even ask if they can hire you a Theropist...not beacsuse your carzy or anything, but to help you sort out your feelings and emotions

Answer 10

tell your parents you was pretending the whole time.
that should solve alot of problems. as for the replaced doctor
you never needed you should just forget him\her.
