➸ The Myth of "Official": autism and self-diagnosis skeptics

I’m officially diagnosed, I once posted eight to ten different versions of my official diagnosis (PDDNOS, CNS disorder NOS (with detailed descriptions of autistic sensory and motor traits afterwards), autistic disorder, autistic catatonia, etc.) from over the years from the ages of 14 to 22ish, and I still get called a faker with alarming regularity.  If official diagnosis meant anything to these people, they’d have respected mine more than they respect plenty of people who’ve done less to prove themselves than I have.  The fact that they didn’t respect my official diagnosis, says everything.  They only say this crap to manipulate people.
