@candy.courn: yes, I was so relieved when I finally was able to get my autism diagnosis! 🌈 but guess what? I wasn’t any less autistic when I self diagnosed prior because disabilities don’t suddenly appear over night when you get diagnosed! and viewing the formal process as the only valid option when just a handful of professionals diagnose adults, it literally costs thousands of dollars, and you can sit on waitlists for years even with insurance - is absurd! Informed self diagnosis will always be valid in a world where healthcare isn’t reliable or accessible! And guess what, informed self diagnosis takes absolutely nothing away from diagnosed folks like myself! 👋 #autismawareness #autismoftiktok #autisticadults #autistictiktok #selfdiagnosis

i sometimes feel so bad because i self diagnosed, but i even made the list of my traits and struggles, people tell me that im not really autistic since i dont have a diagnosis and it makes me feel sad, i dont self diagnosed myself for the “quirky traits” but because i struggle with many things in life 🙁

I got denied bc I was 🍇 because "autistic people don't wish to be in romantic relationships" (an ex did that to me during our entire relationship and I realized YEARS LATER how early it actually started because literal thinking duh)

they stamped the bpd diagnosis on my file without doing any testing shortly after I turned 18 and I have been suspecting that I'm autistic (/AuDHD) for many years now but because of that bpd diagnosis they won't do any testing. make it make sense

its so funny to me when people claim that self diagnosis is just a tiktok trend or something like that because i cant help but think about my dad who isnt interested in a diagnosis but has known hes autistic way before tiktok was a thing

OH WOW IM EARLY!! This is very true!! Being self diagnosed is genuinely fine as long as you’ve done research, not just ‘oh I hate loud noises I’m autistic!!’ I was self diagnosed for 3 years and I got diagnosed 2 years ago!

I was diagnosed at 16, people have argued with me a lot that I’m not autistic because my biggest issue is social issues. I’ve been told “you don’t have autism, it’s social anxiety!” I’m diagnosed with both autism and anxiety and I have other symptoms 😭 but my life is largely IMPACTED by having social issues. I spent 2 years of highschool sitting alone at lunch, I only had someone with me if my bf was at school

Getting my diagnosis literally saved my life. I was going through so much identity crisis and self hated because I knew I was different and couldn’t understand why. So simply being told that I had autism help me understand myself much better and help me heal as person. It why I always encourage self diagnosis because sometimes we don’t have access to healthcare and it absolutely horrible when you can’t understand yourself or your needs. I see as a form as self care and self awareness.

I told my ex that I had autism. He said I can't be sure cause I've not been diagnosed and won't believe me until I have the piece of paper. He got mad at me when I did things because of my autism

Hi.I'm going to ask for help here. I've been suspecting I can be autistic for some years .There is an association for autistic people in my city and I've been wanting to contact them to ask if they can help me to find an diagnosis process. I'm too scared to call or go there fiscally to ask. So I'll write an E-mail. the problem, I don't know how to write it or what to say. And I don't want to ask an IA. cause I don't like IA. Could you give me some ideas?

my mom wouldnt believe me when I said I might have autism bcuz Im 'too sympathetic' I am very emotional and am a massive empath, but autism is a spectrum, I struggle with other things autistic people struggle with too. like changes im my routine, looking people in the eyes, having propper responses when someone says somrthing personal, phone calls and more. the reason I even looked into having autism was because all my friends were 100% sure I did since they met me

For my adhd I went from „well, I can’t have that because (stereotypical trait) doesnt apply to me!“ to „I wish I actually had adhd so I could justify having all of these symptoms and relating to adhd stuff“ to „okay these symptoms fit me a little to well..“ to finding out I had been diagnosed since I was a kid and no one told me. I’m kind of at the third stage again for autism so uh… maybe I should bring it up somewhere.

YES, I’ve seen so many people complain about self-diagnosed people, when that isn’t the problem. Most of the time you can do your own research and easily tell if someone’s faking

I consider myself self-diagnosed however after multiple therapy sessions my therapist agrees that it’s very likely i have it and before that i informed myself as much as i could about it before actually considering myself autistic

I have been on a waitlist twice. Second time they cancelled my appt a week before (after waiting 6 months) with the excuse no one could help bc I am an adult. All resources around me are for kids. And don’t even get me started on safety in this current political climate… 🙃
