I agree, I've been professionally dx'd since age 5 and I feel talked over and insulted by the people I know who claim self-dx in recent years

I don't claim that I have ASD, but I've had 4 professionals tell me they suspect I have it. I've been on a waitlist for 13 months. The evaluation costs 2100. What exactly am I supposed to do? Lmfao

The last time I wanted to be tested they said it’ll be a 4 year wait, I’ve known since I was kid without a diagnosis because we couldn’t and still can’t afford to. Check your privilege 💃🏼

Curious as to what you think about the fact that if you get an official dx, you aren’t allowed to move to certain countries? Or if ur a parent, cps will know about it?

My parents refused to get me tested when my 1st grade teacher asked them to and didn't tell me until I was well into my 20s.

Honestly it’s the only way for some. I was diagnosed at 45 but only bc I did the work. Misdiagnosed, mismedicated for all that time by MANY profession

I believe I have ADHD the waiting list in the uk is years to get a diagnosis! We still have to live with our struggles until we are able to get one

while I recognize that diagnosis can be a privilege, I do agree with this take - many conditions have overlapping traits with ASD. Suspecting you’re autistic and asking for accommodations accordingly-

But what if people can’t afford to get the diagnosis that they need? That’s why people who self diagnosed do extensive research to make sure they have that disability or autism with extensive research

ALSO women are never properly diagnosed so having a ‘real’ diagnosis is 100x easier for men

This is fucked bc a lot of medical professionals are very dismissive. Its a struggle to get diagnosed in the first place. Its evident this is for clout not advocacy 🙄

So let's make room for intersectionalities.... You realize documentation is a privilege. Can you account for the millions of minorities who were not tested due to medical bias....
