So, let me explain: I’m from Slovenia and I was looking for some websites, to send to my grandma (who doesn’t speak english) to educate her about autism (sinced she claimed I have a learning disability, despite me being great at school). Here’s the link to the google search if you want to translate and read the results and I can’t find a single website with any decent information. Almost all claim autism is always commorbid with an intellectual disabillity, we still use Kanner’s profile of autism, Aspergers syndrome, etc. and of course ABA, diets, cures and the vaccine bullshit are often promoted. The serious problems start, when you notice, that the medical system is (at least from my experience) as terrible or even worse, than the websites. I probably already complained about having to go trough a lot of hoops (and bankrupcy in the process (yep, the joke is stupid)) to hopefully get the driver’s license next year. It’s probably best if I just make a list:

  • first the medical exam (I was accused of having an Intellectual disability)
  • Psychological exam (the psychologist didn’t respect my sensory needs by loudly talking on her phone (or purpusfully sabotaged me) and I failed a concentration test (wonder why) and reflexes (this one’s on me), but not the intelligence test(so I don’t have ID, wow we figured it out!))
  • I have to forgo another PSYCH exam in a year and hopefully not fail

I will probably finish high school and university (at least that’s deacent here) and move to somethin like the UK, where I’ll probably at least have a right to go anywhere further, than the next village.

P.S: If anyone finds a decent slovene text about autism please post the link here.

    Well, at school, we learned this when some of my schoolmates failed a report which started something like: ‘Picasso was a plummer…’.
