As per the dsm-5, it’s not a separate diagnostic disorder, but it is a common symptom of autism and/or adhd. It’s also important to remember that the dsm isn’t perfect; it still doesn’t recognize cptsd or maladaptive daydreaming disorder, and it included Asperger’s in editions 1-4

Being gay was classified as a mental disorder in dsm1 and dsm2, and comphet wasn’t removed until dsm5. Being gender dysphoria was still called Gender Identity Disorder and mislabeled it as a subtype of sexual orientation until being edited in the dsm5. Basically, the dsm reflects whatever the entire APA can agree on, which isn’t infallible and can run 20+ years behind the current professional consensus

You can give constructive criticism in a way that’s still nice but some people use it as an excuse to straight up bully someone

That’s where u shut that shit down, because yes there is a difference, but also it’s up to you if you’re going to let someone treat you that way or talk down on you. Drawing boundaries isn’t always easiest but def feels better than being walked all over

Yeah like I’m aware that it’s irrational so I don’t want people to feel like they can’t tell me something I’m doing is wrong or hurtful because I want to know and be better however I will basically feel like I’m swallowing lead while hearing it
