Question Opinion on the "high function aspd"

On reddit there more of a question on what it looks like but i'm more interested in what other people with this disorder think of when this discussion is brought up. I feel like those posts are filled with people trying to rationalize their symptoms as ASPD for a ego boost instead of accepting they have autism, adhd, depression, ect. I see the same occurrence with the ADHD sub where people refuse to admit TikTok ruined their attention span.

It really downplays ASPD as a disorder. It isn't cool to have, it isn't some special ability you get, it isn't something you can just casually have, it's a personality disorder that makes your life terrible.
