the ridiculousness of opposition to autism self-diagnosis is…
…Autism isn’t actually a diagnosis, properly speaking.
It’s a catch all for “your communication and movement and thinking is weird, and we think it’s probably because your brain is weird, and we don’t have another diagnosis that fits”.
Like, there *isn’t* anything rigorous that doctors can do to test for autism. Because it’s what you get diagnosed with when there isn’t another explanation and you have a general sort of range of weirdness.
Yeah exactly.
