I have an obsession with my autism diagnosis and it's driving me crazy. I don't think it's correct and I'm compulsively trying to prove I'm not autistic. I know this is a waste of time. This stupid also makes me look like I'm denial. Ugh I just want this obsession to end. When it does end I probably won't spend as much time here.

I have an unhealthy (OCD) obsession with autism too.

I know that I am not autistic, but I can't scrape the doubt from my mind, so I am almost constantly thinking about autism throughout the day, unless I am heavily distracted.

I think that's a waste of time and money.

But maybe it's not a waste if it will cure your obsession? And can't you get insurance to pay?
