How weird is it that I was professionally diagnosed as a kid but I squirm at people shitting on self-dx
Like idk why that is but I feel like trying to put words to it would just make it all about me
I was professionally diagnosed when I was 14, and I really hate people shitting on self-dxed people because I care about what happens to people, even if their life experiences are different from mine. And because I’ve seen so much horrible stuff happen to self-dxed people who can’t get services, so I know they’re going through really awful stuff a lot of the time and then they get crapped on by the community that should be there to help them. Which in extreme cases can lead to death, and in less extreme cases “just” makes people suffer a lot. That’s why I care, I don’t know why you care. But it is definitely not wrong for you to care. In fact having the visible support of professionally-diagnosed people can really help self-dxed people gain acceptance sometimes.
