I got help with that from therapy. Some types of therapists can help you identify thinking and behavioral patterns that induce and prolong issues like stress and worry, and then you gradually replace them with a different pattern of thinking and behavior. I found it immensely helpful.

Interrogation analysis videos have taught me that I advertise guilt with my phrasing, tone and body language. Women with ASD are treated like mythological creatures so that excuse wouldn’t hold up in court. If I ever find a body, I better hope it scares the autism out of me or I’m going to prison.

As someone with ankylosing spondylitis who doesn’t have HLA-B27, and does take biologics, I was excited to see this thread title, then concerned about some of the info or lack thereof, then excited to see you reconsidering biologics in the comments.

Anyway... Now that people around you know that you have a disease, have any of them started to view your character differently? I noticed certain people used to think I was a liar because I reported pain and dizziness I couldn’t prove, so now with new context they see me as very honest in all things, not just regarding pain. Have you noticed people’s view of your value, personality or character change? Do they treat you like you’re suddenly a better person or anything?
