Can i vent a bit?
So i been thinking about talking with a doctor about getting a asd diagnosis. Now up until now I've only told my dad that I'm pretty sure i have Asperger's syndrome, he was supportive and really nice about it all. Well i figured if I was going to get diagnosed i should tell my mum about it all. (My dad is the only one I've told before this) when i did she tried to tell me that because I'm not 'weird' i obviously don't have it, and because it's not something you can medicate or cure there is no point to getting a diagnosis. She also told me i was just doing it for attention because my generation likes having 'labels' and diagnosis for everything.
She also told me that any meltdowns and sensory overloads I've experienced in the past was just because I'm a girl and 'hormones'. This all of course really hurt but even worse dad just sat there, even though he had told me before that he thought I was on the spectrum, and had been supportive in the past, he did what he always did when there is a dispute between mom and anyone. Take her side regardless of his feelings or opinions.
I'm ready to cry and give up on a diagnosis, can i get some comfort or support?

If you are an adult or close to becoming one try googling it up yourself. Here's some things you can check out. https://www.evolvepsychiatry.com/blog/how-does-a-psychiatrist-diagnose-aspergers-syndrome/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBHSp5yMjp8 I say it doesn't hurt to get a diagnosis on your own if you can if your parents won't agree to it. Don't pay your mom any mind with "disability labels" being used to get attention from people. Your mother is acting naive and rebellious if she think that's why everyone gets diagnosed with disabilities.

i have been diagnotised in a hospital for my side
