Germany here. Second largest city in the country. There are two places here that diagnose adults. Waiting list says 3-6 years. Afterwards you can get therapy to enable you to work. That’s it. Meaning that you can get therapy if you’re either jobless or on disability pay. I’m neither because I have the benefit of being a stay-at-home wife so I don’t need any help according to our society.
To the downvoter: if you have any other information please let me know. I’d love to know of other options.
Not autistic but I feel your displeasure at the complete lack of actual help. I’ve had fibromyalgia for nearly a decade now (since 21) and it took 8 years of doctors telling me it was all in my head, anxiety, depression, et cetera to get an actual diagnosis.
I feel so exhausted/in pain/traumatised that I feel like I’ll be scraping by on disability for the rest of my life. I feel broken.
