I mentioned on my first comment of this discussion that self-diagnosis is good for a person to get interested in the subject and learn more about which could eventually lead to an official diagnosis.

I guess I am wrong. There are no rules, you can decide you are autistic for whatever trait you identify. Because if you don’t function as a perfect and unrealistic human being it’s probably because you have a disability. I doesn’t matter how stupid I think it is, that seems to be the consensus.

I know I’m being passive aggressive but it really bothers me that some common flaws or limitations can simply fit some form of autism because is wrong to say it isn’t. For example, socializing is a skill, it sure comes naturally for some people but that doesn’t mean it isn’t something you can’t learn and improve (I think I only started feeling more confident about my social abilities a few years ago, and I’m 33). I don’t think it’s healthy for people, especially when young, to diagnose themselves with some kind of limitation that would impair development. Feeling discomfort is also a part of life and sometimes we can’t avoid it, we might even need it to become better and mature human beings.

People who claim they are always functional and that nothing bothers or distract them are liers. You know, that hustle culture bullshit. But there are some things to be learned from them too, the courage to face discomfort and work on limitations, balance is everything.

But apparently my opinion doesn’t matter because I’m simply wrong to think self-diagnosing isn’t harmless and a slippery slope for justifying very normal and common individual limitations.

I dare you to find other source to support this belief outside this video or this CONTENT CREATOR.

yeah, I do get agressive when I see a person using silly arguments based on feelings rather than facts. Anyways, go on live your happy self-diagnosed life, when someone laugh at you or you make someone really angry in real life I want you to remember this mean internet guy.

Let’s make deal, I look up whatever that is and you go study about autism spectrum desorder outside shallow social media posts, how does that sound?

Were you against masks or against social distancing during covid? You sound like the kind of person who would be into that kind of stuff.

Thanks, I hope you get banned for supporting disinformation.

Social aspect ?! LMAO ! It’s an identified mental disorder, not a social group like being emo or goth. You do need to meet a medical definition, please go see a therapist.

If it’s not valid for legal or health matters how is that valid? Now you are just playing with the meaning of the word.

Self-diagnosing yourself with autism just because of some unusual behaviors is disrespectful to people who really struggle with the condition.

If you don’t need treatments or special needs why would you feel the need to be in the same category with people who suffer severe impairment in socialization and everyday activities?

Find something else to define your own uniqueness, that’s a serious subject.

Just a tiny little bleed 🥺

If you can’t get it you can’t get it, it’s that simple. Some people can’t get any medical assistance at all, and that’s a whole other discussion.

OK, that sentence you mentioned was weird. What I meant was, the fact that doctors make mistakes don’t make doctors optional. There are legislations and standards for a reason. This argument is silly bacause it can be used for almost anything. Like, why have cops if people keep commiting crimes anyway?

Lol, no. Only because a guy did a well put together video it doesn’t make it a valid argument. That’s just fucking dumb and wrong. Self-diagnosis might be good for you to get interested on the subject and then get a professional take, but that it’s it.

“Doctors make wrong diagnosis all the time”

Killing and stealing are still illegal even if there are people who don’t obey the rules.

After covid I had some regular and unusually strong headaches for a while. Maybe my brain was bleeding?

I live in Brazil, there are many problems here and stuff. But at least no one gives a fuck about piracy, lol. Never needed a VPN for torrents, not gonna need anytime soon.

I think the wrong spelling is part of the meme adventure

I think it’s related to paid search and SEO tactics. All my browser have adblocks for years and I think it helps. By my own experience I don’t think it’s worse, and to be honest I still think it’s unmatched. I’ve been using duckduckgo sometimes and it’s alright and all but it’s definitely not better.

XP was great but for me 7 was the sweet spot.
