Comment section does not pass the vibe check. You are spot on. The online romanticization and reductionism of autism is appalling.

It’s the same thing when people call themselves bipolar as a joke. Cause as someone who is actually bipolar that’s so offensive.

Y’all are real comfortable criticizing Amanda Seales without context. Do you know how often Black women are misdiagnosed or dismissed in medical settings?
We have the highest maternal mortality rate in the U.S. not because our bodies are broken, but because the system is. Studies show Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die during childbirth due to medical neglect. We’re also consistently underdiagnosed for autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent conditions because of racist and sexist medical bias.
So if you’re shocked a doctor didn’t diagnose her correctly, you haven’t been paying attention. Don’t come for her come for the system that fails us over and over again.

DSM V-TR narrowed and further specified criteria for ASD partially to address this too

Self diagnosing is not just invalid, but literally IMPOSSIBLE. A diagnosis is given by a medical professional to a patient by definition.

I agree for the most part though I will say all they do is look at the DSM-V and line up your symptoms. If you meet the criteria you meet the criteria

Self diagnosing *can* be valid, but isn’t always. Context matters. Some doctors don’t know what they are talking about either.

Yeah and if they chose not to then put it in the video or bio and say “I think I might be” or “I have similar symptoms as…but not official” but DONT be the voice or face of the diagnosis
