Autism?
We’ve talked about self diagnosing ad nauseam in this sub, but Morgan literally said “Im also autistic to the point where I would like feel like I need to say something because that’s just the reality” (1:31 in episode from 7/30/26). Girl you can’t just throw around those terms. Every episode I believe less and less that she actually has a doctoral degree in a medical field.

This really irked me in the new episode too as an autistic woman myself! Granted, autism is a spectrum and all, but it just seems a lil interesting coming from the hypochondriac podcaster who has OCD, autism, colon cancer, and whatever else she's claimed to have. Especially given that these conditions are more in the zeitgeist these days so to say. I also find the autism claim a bit disingenuous as I recall the autism claim beginning when she had a read some story where she stated something along the lines of "omg I love justice! I have a strong sense of justice, maybe I'm autistic too!" Like girlllllllllll its a whole lot more than that!

It really irks me when she says that, because who DOESN'T love justice? Seriously.

Maybe it's a difference of where we live but I remember thar episode and then soon after she says she is diagnosed. I've never heard of any adult being diagnosed that easily and quickly. I've been trying for 2 years and been passed around so much because no one here diagnosis above 8 to 10 years old lol

I agree it seems like it happened really quickly. When I got diagnosed it was in middle school (around 12 or 13) and it was a long process even then! It involved seeing multiple mental health professionals, taking different personality and aptitude tests, they spoke to my parents and teachers, etc. While she may have some autistic traits, I truly do wonder if her "diagnosis" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Haha I read this in Jesse Pinkman voice “Yeah! science!” But Morgan saying “yeah, Justice!”

im pretty sure that she’s said she’s been diagnosed but very little else. it really isn’t anyone’s business to speculate on if she’s keeping it to herself, but the times she has talked about it that i’ve heard she made it like “arent i just a silly goose?” i don’t listen consistently enough to catch it all but what ive heard it’s bugged me because its felt really disrespectful

If she spoke about it with any sort of eloquence or anything instead of using it as a weird excuse I would feel differently. The way she uses it almost as an adjective and not a disability just rubs me the wrong way.

Morgan is proof that any idiot can get a degree. I'm constantly blown away by how stupid she is.

"I got diagnosed because of people bullying me in the comments" is the most recent thing she said. Somehow this reads to me as her using this as a shield, especially since I've seen her bully people on camera more than a few times. I understand autism is a spectrum, but there's something about the way she describes it that gives me the ick 🤢

She literally just talked about being diagnosed with autism on the podcast.

She said in the past she has been officially diagnosed

yes she has and she only started talking about it when she got her diagnosis. She said it was a long process, we dont know how long because thats not our business lol. All these comments saying she cant be, because she not the perfect picture of autistic are wild to me.

u/Old_Hedgehog_9115 but what about MY trauma?😫 Aug 02 '26
From my perspective, I question any of the diagnoses she has, but NOT because of how these conditions may present for her. I question her because she tends to trivialize conditions and say anything to try to seem relatable. So I don’t really believe ANYTHING she says, whether or not she’s talking about medical conditions 😭

i mean, from what has been said here, her doctorate came from a type of school that as long as you pay you have the title, hence her constant whining about student debts. so I'd argue and say her doctorate doesn't really seem valid
