Yes I see the balkan influence in Slovenia. I feel bad, because my father (also autistic) is on the doctor's side even tho he knows I'm not intelectually disabled (he even thinks I'm smart). He just doesn't want to question their authority.
On the unrelated note: I accidentaly said yes to a question I later learned it was partialy corelated with intelectual disability, so it might be my fault.
Its a dumpster fire all over the world and you‘re not alone. Feel free to go into research and help clear up this idiocy.
Well since that appointment, I'm scared I might lose legal rights so there will be nothing I could do about it.
I‘m not in your position so I dont know anything about it. Its possible to be declared incapable but thats quite a big stretch to assume it will happen usually. If you dont have a criminal history or people interested in controling you it sounds like a less likely outcome. Feel free to correct me. Also, if you‘re interested in shaping your and other autistic folk‘s future, you can always advocate.
Thanks, I think my mother is interested in controlling me, but she probably wouldn't suceed because my father wouldn't let her (hopefully).
In that case I‘d worry about things you can control instead of things you cant control. Makes life a lot easier and healthier - most likely longer too.
Learn, try to discover new things and do what you can to be selfreliant.
Good luck.
Yes. Thanks.
