If I didn’t self diagnose first I wouldn’t have gotten diagnosed for real. This does not take into account Afabs or poc’s experiences in the medical system. Tone deaf.

actually all the self dx people I know are explaining their vulnerabilities and shortcomings in social/career aspects not excusing abusive behaviour.

Not everyone can be officially diagnosed. In some countries waiting lists are in YEARS and the alternative costs hundreds. Not to mention not everyone

I love hearing all your takes on this. Especially that voice part, my son has ASD and needs substantial support and I am his voice. But since I don’t have ASD I’m not supposed to speak on it

I heard every word. The only proof I need is how selfish most of the late/self-dx community is. Most speak over official and early diagnosed, as well as mid-HSN. They made a huge mistake pushing all

The ban ABA argument needs more nuance bc without ABA services, there would be less access to specialized childcare services for families.

i can’t deny that the LSN community has royally failed to give voice to HSN autistics 😞 i think a lot of it comes from internalized ableism 🥺

I’m neurotypical, but if I’m not the voice for my high-needs autistic son then he has no one. I won’t abandon him like that.

So we're just gonna ignore the fact that autistic women often struggle to get an accurate diagnosis a lot of the time due to stereotypes? As a diagnosed autistic, this ain't it.

I know it’s difficult to get a diagnosis cost aside the wait list is crazy my sons was a year and I wondered if it was because all the self diagnosers clogging up the system. Like what happens w/ADD

Autism is miserable, at least for me, self diagnosis seems more like a desperate escape from accountability
