In theory, you can get disability for basically anything as long as you can prove that it's significantly debilitating enough to keep you out of work. It's highly unlikely that OP can prove that, though, unless their autism is tied to previous hospitalizations and, ideally, another mental illness. That's if they're American, of course.

Hello autist-anon.
Did you fake autism or answered in a more autistic way to get the disability or were you completely honest with the psych because you just wanted to know?

>>5747
Most autsits don't work.

>u cant get disability for autism retard. autistic people work.
IIRC, this anon was particularly autistic. To the point where working was basically impossible.

Have you considered working on coping mechanisms instead of just getting NEETbux? While it's more difficult, if possible, it could lead to a more fulfilling life.

OP here

I was also diagnosed with AHDH, Major Depression, and Anxiety at the same time.
I didn’t fake anything I just did the test. I didn’t score majority autistic but the dr said that I definitely have developed some coping mechanisms over the years to have made it this far. I’m far from slobbering all over myself on the floor playing Pokémon cards all day but my body moves a bit slow, im kind of “one speed”, I don’t have much energy.

I’ve filed for disability but I think I may need a disability lawyer if I’m rejected (and I assume I will be).

everyone on image boards are autistic anon you aren't special

Not OP, but if you're curious in attaining a *legitimate* diagnosis in something, collect and write down all of the symptoms that you exhibit and all of the ones you dont and to what degree. Then look into common differential diagnoses and collect and write down all of the symptoms that you exhibit and all the ones you dont and to what degree. Then do research into the clinical side of those disorders. That means reading what actual, individual psychiatrists (not psychologists or therapists) say they see in people presenting with tbose disorders. Then go see an LCSW or therapist (not a psychologist), especially one who specializes in your issue, with all of this info and see what they think about it. If they don't click, try someone else or move up the ladder to a psychiatrist (seriously, not a psychologist). If your problems are categorizable, you'll get diagnosed with something even if it's not what you want.

If you want to fake an illness to get diagnosed with, look up the symptoms and act them out the best you can. Best case scenario, they sus out that you're lying and try to address the underlying reasons for it.

OP here. i just googled "adult autism diagnosis" in my area and called around until i found a place that accepted my insurance. then i made and appointment and met with a psychologist. then i had another appointment where i had to go back and take some tests (rate from 1-5, multiple choice) then a family member had to take some tests for me and rate me as they saw me. then I had one more appointment, then the psychologist wrote up a full phycological report on me and explained it all in a zoom call. then i had my diagnosis.

OP here again
Finally got my disability form in the mail, filled it out and mailed it back to the state. Now I just have to wait an eternity and they’ll get back to me probably with a big “NO”.
