I'm seeing hate for people self-diagnosing autism and it's pissing me off.

Pretty much the only resource you're gonna get with autism is a caregiver, and if your autism is at the level where you need a caregiver, you were probably diagnosed at a young age in the first place. People self dsing aren't taking any resources away from you.

Just because you think it's annoying doesn't mean it's a bad thing. what're they gonna do? keep a stim toy company in business a little bit longer??? that's not a bad thing. Shut the fuck up.

#I was diagnosed officially at 19 but I figured it out a few years prior on my own #you know how much it costs to get a diagnosis?? That shit was EXPENSIVE #and you know what I got from it? Jack shit. I already knew. It already clicked that THAT'S why I was “different”.#Like now the canadian government might be a little more shitty to me but that's it #actually autistic #autism #I'm also still mad about Stimtastic shutting down #self diagnosed autism
