Some people can be such jerks...

I won't bore you with details, but here's the summary.

I am a member of the Autism Speaks forums. There to give advice to parents who want to listen. It's ok when other spectrum adults give advice, but evidentally a certain member thinks I have zero credibility because I never got an official diagnosis.

But I'm not a liar. I never misrepresent myself. Many autistic adults NEVER get diagnosed, for a variety of reasons.

I was warned about this person from someone else, and I ignored the advice. Consider this a lesson learned.

I told them all I would come back after I get approved for Medicaid and get an autism evaluation from a specialist, but I don't even know if I'll do that now.

Oh, and another thing. This person's attacks against me (and him denying any wrongdoing) resulted in me having a major meltdown. Not a pretty sight.

I'll be praying that GOD may give you the patience and anything else according to HIS will that you are in need of. I will also pray for the person that openly bugs you.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!! and remember to be patient.

Unfortunately, people will happily troll and flame a forum much more than they'ld ever do in person. I know it still hurts, but you don't really own this person anything. So only get an evaluation if it's important to you.

Praying.

A lot of people use the internet as a means to be total jerk-heads and verbally thrash someone because they can hide under its anonomity. More than likely it's just someone trying to treat their insecurity. I know how it feels to get a slap in the face, but I really wouldn't let it keep me down. Don't worry, happens to the best of us. ^_^
