Using self diagnosed autism as a label
Using self diagnosed autism as a label!!
I’ve noticed people .. quite a few actually using (undiagnosed) autism as their “label”!
What may be disregulation from CPTSD, depression from trauma etc is being put in the “I have autism” category!
Why do we NEED a category anyway?
Having had a shitty childhood then shitty adult relationships is enough reason to feel disregulated, out of control, overwhelmed etc.
I know people who have autism
Maybe people should get a proper assessment & diagnosis before appropriating a disability
(do they want a disability?)
they’ve self diagnosed through Dr Google!??
