It seems I didn't get the text with the time for my summary appointment at the psych clinic, so I got a bill and a letter saying I have to contact them before the 22nd if I want that appointment - to go over my diagnosis and such. I know what I'll be diagnosed with, and I still don't agree - I know since the letter mentioned that we should talk about the option of therapy. I don't need therapy.
I'm just so sick and tired of it all. I'm so disappointed with the Norwegian health care system and how they let people slip through due to their own ignorance. I'm angry because there is no one specializing in autism here, that I know of. It's not as simple as going to another city or see someone with a private practice - there aren't all that many private practices, and none at all dealing with autism.
I guess I knew from the beginning I wouldn't get the correct diagnosis. I know that the diagnosis they're giving me is wrong, but I take a small comfort in knowing that it has been suggested from many experts that the two should just be one diagnosis, that there are so many similarities (however, some symptoms are more "extreme" in schizoid) that they cannot be two separate diagnoses. Sure, there is the issue of the autistic brain vs. the neurotypical brain, but... I'm no expert, and I trust what I read.
Just thinking about the clinic makes me neauseaus. And I have no one to talk to about this. No one. I have no idea what to do.
