I’ve been talking to a few of my friends who have recently been diagnosed as autistic back in the US, and our experiences with everything have been extremely similar.. Kind of falling down the rabbithole watching other people’s experiences right now and I really suspect I am on the spectrum.
Before coming to Japan, I was diagnosed with ADHD and depression, and after coming here I have been diagnosed with anxiety and BPD.. I keep getting thrown more and more antidepressants and mood stabilizers (i’m up to 13 pills a night now). I think they’ve definitely helped but I also don’t know anyone else on as many antidepressants as I am!! I’d really like to reduce the amount of meds I am on..
Has anyone else here been diagnosed as autistic in Japan? What clinic did you go to?
