Self-diagnosis autism, ADHD, Bipolar, PTSD

3/1/2022

I am diagnosed with the shutdown presentation of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar 1 disorder and mild social anxiety disorder, which multiple strangers online confuse with autism. I have had a lot of abuse online because I no longer call myself autistic, after assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

I have difficulty with communicating with words. Below is an extract of transcript from a recent video, when I was trying to speak, while dissociating (PTSD):

I am no longer blogging or vlogging as a mental health and disability advocate. The politics of it is too toxic for me.

I will blog occasionally about some of my interests (art, writing etc) beyond advocacy on my other blog at Soar Purpose.

See you there!

No. 1 bad-ass.
After all, my medical records say 'BAD1' for bipolar affective disorder type 1.

Also diagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Clinically significant autism spectrum features since childhood (PDD-NOS).

Creative. Like to paint and write. Self-published a few books based on personal experiences.

Comments are welcome but no personal attacks nor attacks on others.

Opinions and personal experiences are no substitute for independent professional advice.

Image is fan art from when I was a bipolar warrior and a renegade fighter.
