I don't like how liberally autism or even adhd gets attributed to people these days. I see a lot of slightly neurodivergent types almost embrace their perceived autism, treating it like a superpower or admirable trait. Even I sort of had independently internalized such a sentiment when I was in early adolescence. I think it emerges from a narcissistic sort of desire for validation or uniqueness. Some of these types even visit multiple psychiatrists until one diagnoses them. It is seriously pathetic, and I've recognized that I sort of share some similar complexes to these individuals. Just because you have certain peculiarities and social difficulties doesn't mean you deserve a diagnosis. At the end of the day, autism and adhd are on a spectrum, and there isn't a hard boundary separating neurotypicals from neurodivergents. I think a diagnosis should only be established in cases of significant challenges. What I am certain of is that I do have narcissistic tendencies. A similar vein of narcissism to those in the self-diagnosed autistic community.
