I think this just changed my life

(Professionals and neurodivergent individuals, please give me your thoughts)

I was playing this video in the background that I thought was going to be about elxn and Mr bxast and them saying they have autism only to be met with the most five minute research self diagnosis I've ever seen

Not here to call out the creator, just to vent, but he,

-called it aspergers

-said men have it more

-used high functioning as a label

-described pretty average experiences as symptoms

-vaugly understood symptoms but very clearly didn't understand their origin (eg sensory avoident/ sensory seeking behaviour, mental processing differences)

-avoided sensory symptoms in application to himself altogether

-said that "you don't either have it or don't have it; it's a spectrum" which technically isn't true bcs while autism is a spectrum, neurodivergence is definitely something you do or don't have

-presents speculation of various people having autism (dream,Mr beast) as implied fact

-doesn't really discuss the difficulties that come with having autism, outside vague social difficulties, and talks about it almost as this fantastical skill multiplier that has the sideffect of making a person 'eccentric'

-used the word 'quirky' which is just a personal ick

-used the word 'normal people' in reference to neurotypical, which again isn't a crime, but it's an ick to me

My qualifications for this assessment is obviously limited, I'm not a professional in psychology nor youtube essay dissection, but I have done my due research and absorbed a lot of information over a bunch of years from resources ranging from personal accounts to diagnostic criteria. However, if I'm mistaken and you disagree, as a professional or someone with more awareness, please do correct me.

My belief is that to self diagnose (which I wholeheartedly support) there is a certain amount of research needed, research that would very quickly disperse most of the above statements due to them being incredibly outdated and/or plain wrong.

I'm not here to deny any self evaluation or self diagnosis, I'm just presenting the facts as I see them for individual judgement.

And forgetting objectivity for a sec, just the vibes, man. My subconscious brain is rolling it's eyes but that's cos im feeling petty rn
