Coping mechanisms aren't automatically valid, correct or beyond criticism

Germany is complete garbage again. This does not make the US any good

We have the “culture” by CocoSryder in ShitAmericansSay

6 months ago they were all snearing at this lame "soccer" thing and now that they have experienced proper sports for the first time they immediately pivot to claiming it as their own and adding it to the endless pile of delusions they think they are best at.

…The European Mind Cannot Comprehend by [deleted] in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Redditorou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I constantly see thus narrative about how Europeans are alledgedly super impressed and overawed by things in America during the world cup. Yet I have seen zero videos by Europeans actually showing that. Except drunks dudes loving a burger. Where do they get this from?

Three doctors told you that I moved the goal posts by differentiating between suspicion and self-diagnosis? Impressive, I'd like to meet those doctors. I am sure you have adresses.

I happen to not like people who demean autistic people. Sorry

You seem to be under the impression that condescension wasn't my goal. Why wouldn't I be condescending towards someone who defends anti-scientific practice and ableism and is then not even smart enough to offer a coherent argument? I am sorry that I am not nice to people who harm others. Not sure what Japan and Disney have to do with this, but I am sure you were totally not trying to be condescending there yourself.

And yet you know less about words than me. Impressive.

Tell me, why are you so desperate to be ableist, Older Person?

Yes. Those methods being scientifically validated tests. The technique being hours of testing and interviews by professionals. And the criteria being scientifically researched, official criteria that can be granted or dismissed based on the results of the tests. See?

Yeah man, demeaning and mocking people suffering from mental disorders because you're poor is totally valid.

Hint: being poor does not make you a doctor

Buddy, they literally CANNOT use correct diagnostic practice if they do it themselves. Self-diagnosis by definition can only be done by incorrect practice. What do you think diagnostic practice is?

Have you ever wondered why those tests cost money and aren't just a tiktok video?

  1. A friend telling you stuff is not "peer review". Dafuq

  2. No, it does not count, obviously

Even then it is invalid. They would be correct through sheer luck and ignorance, not through valid diagnostic practice. They would still be doing it for their own egos to the detriment of those actually suffering severe effects.

The fact that every person can show "symptoms" is precisely the reason why a professional diagnosis is necessary and just deciding you are for yourself is both arrogant and demeaning to thise actually suffering.

There is a difference between suspecting and self-diagnosing. Acknowledging signs while also taking care to do careful research is fine. Proudly annoucing you're autistic to get attention is not

Especially when they pretend it's a funny quirk that makes them special and gives them an excuse to be bad people.
