Challenging communication with gp leads to understanding

After my GP visit at home, she seemed nice, but I felt misunderstood due to my autism and communication challenges. When she told me off, I wanted to cry because I never intend to upset anyone. I simply try to talk, but when pushed into a corner, how can I respond? Being scolded makes me afraid to speak, leaving me confused about asking for anything. Being treated like a child is distressing. I'm unwell and experiencing extreme pain, with medication inadequate to manage my suffering. I apologized for my communication difficulties, yet now I'm scared to speak. It's not my fault if people don't understand my way of asking for help. I'm desperate and in pain. Being spoken to harshly in my own home made me feel insignificant. Despite the challenging interaction, I appreciate that she referred me to a better hospital where I can be myself. I'm hopeful we've reached a new understanding and I'll try to follow their guidelines to maintain a good relationship. I'm grateful this surgery is understanding and listens to patients. Visiting patients at home, especially those with disabilities experiencing significant pain, is incredibly valuable. This practice has always been curious, kind, and most importantly, they truly listen. I definitely recommend joining them.
