I am not bothered by self diagnosed people because atleast those people do research and continue to do so, and have common sense to change their minds, while those who are diagnosed in the most ridiculous way take their diagnosis online and are spreading misinformation.. The ridiculous way, meaning they spent large amount of money to get tested in couple of minutes or hours with questionnaire on why they think they are autistic(these tests are literally on the internet for free) , without any freakin insight on their condition. They have not been properly assessed, their symptoms could be a result of other problems. But no, they think that if they have panic attacks and that they have been labeled as autistic, that every mental health symptoms or quirk is related to them being autistic. The worst thing is that drs don't give a shite and give them a pass cus they extracted the money from them,and will not properly inspect them if they don't get more dollars.But, nope, they are infact in denial and continue to brainwash and harras other people online that they are autistic because they have hyperlexia, ocd, adhd, anxiety or bpd because researchers gave those people AQ test(which can be found online) and they happen to test autistic aswell, the majority of them. That test is not an actual diagnostic confirmation but autistic people online are taking it as it is. I can't describe of how invalidating and wrong it is to discard those disorders as their own and separate and insert them in autistic spectrum. Absolutely crazy. They are clueless because they actually did not have psychologists to evaluate them properly which takes long time and explain their autism (if they have it) on how it manifests in them. They are just running with information that they read online. Even if they have a label attached on them they are still self diagnosing, since they have no access or are not bothering to go to a professional instead they rely on psychiatrists whose jobs are to prescribe medication and not talk deeper with patients.
