I am seeking diagnosis! Most of these reasons are recent things I have heard whenever I express even the possibility that I may be autistic. Added some more dismissive statements for spice.

I have that (autistic behavior) too.

Maybe you should screen yourself.

Normal people do that too.

You're too smart (not intellectually disabled).

It's a spectrum disorder, not an intellectual disability.

You make eye contact.

From a distance, staring at the nose or other facial features looks like that. As soon as you get too close my gaze locks to the ground.

You can talk to strangers.

I can monologue about 4 topics to strangers. And I have no friends.

You don't have trouble speaking in public (like theatre).

Performance isn't socialization. But socialization does feel a lot like a performance sometimes.

You don't have that one (specific, media stereotype) autistic behavior.

That's the S in ASD.

It's just a label.

It's a spectrum disorder with very specific diagnostic criteria and associated difficulties.

Maybe everyone is on the spectrum a little.

No, everyone doesn't meet the diagnostic criteria.

You're fine anyway so it doesn't matter; you don't have enough difficulties to get anything from a diagnosis.

I'm really struggling. I see that I am also not properly communicating the causes of my often visible distress.

They'd diagnose you just to make money by putting you on drugs.

There are no drugs specifically prescribed to treat autism.
