One time I told a coworker with autism about how I’m confident I’m on the spectrum but haven’t had a diagnosis, she said “ah, peer reviewed autism” 💀

genuinely will never understand hate for self-diagnosis. considering disparities when individuals get diagnosed (like if they’re women-presenting or poc) as well as the COST of these mf tests it’s valid to self diagnosis. ignore his bitch aaa

Me. I have been told by professionals that I “couldn’t receive an autism diagnosis”, but honestly it’s just how my coping mechanisms and childhood trauma shook out. So many of my friends are autistic and feel like I am too, so I say I’m peer reviewed too.
