My most autistic trait is that I watched Back to the Future for the first time a few days ago and have developed such an obsession that I’ve already watched it 5 times😭

This was me realizing why I didn’t want a new phone. I still have an iPhone 8 and when family told me before I need a new one I’d say I didn’t want one bc I rly like the size and home button but they’d always act like those weren’t things that mattered. Now that I actually rly DO need a new one I actually considered how it sounded to others and was like oh. This is just autistic nitpicking bc I don’t want smth specific to change.

It affects us though, in a negative way. We already have a lot of people with personality disorders self-diagnosing themselves - who don’t have any autistic relatives - with autism because they think it makes them look better. Not saying there isn’t legitimacy for some of these ppl to see a diagnostician, but there’s a reason you can’t self-diagnose a neurological disorder of any kind.
