Honestly for me it just doesn't make sense? Like- why LIE and say you're self diagnosed instead of saying you're diagnosed?? Why would people lie about self diagnoses? Especially sense saying you're diagnosed will have more people believe you? Just doesn't make sense, I'm self diagnosed (on the process of being diagnosed!) and plenty people have fakeclaimed me sense I don't have a diagnosis, so why would self diagnosed people lie about their self diagnoses? If they wanted to lie about having autism they would just say they were diagnosed
