Exactly. I hate that people do that. I’m disabled. Autism is a disability. Yes I can mask, and yes I can sort of function. But I’m not ever going to function the same way an allistic brain does. Cause I’m autistic

I told someone I have ADHD and they responded “well, I have it too!”. Were you diagnosed by a doc/psychiatrist? “I just know I am!” Why? Because everyone is ADHD on Facebook etc. Crazy.

Exactly. Same with ADHD. Everybody glorifies it until it actually disables you.

Honestly, I’m iffy with the whole “you have to have a diagnosis” thing because not everybody has access to that. But if other autistic people are telling you that you might have it definitely try to take those steps to get evaluated.
