You can discus and argue about the ethics of fake claiming people until you turn blue.
But to completely and utterly deny the concept of people faking being neurodivergent for whatever reason is just stupid.
People have and will forever fake having a certain life reality, as long as they can gain something from it. Be that social credit, attention, money or even just attention positive or negative.
The idea that people would stop at faking being neurodivergent is laughable, considering how many people have been exposed at faking other life realities: faking their race, their sexuality, their ethnicity, their gender, even faking physical health problems like cancer or HIV. Some people literally fake being victims of physical, sexual and mental violence, or living in areas of war, not just to scam money, but even to just gain some followers on social media sites and get clout, and nothing else.
And you legit think people would stop at lying about having autism? ADHD? DID? BPD? Really? And yet people still try to pretend like nobody claiming to be neurodivergent would ever lie about it. Like every person who claims to be neurodivergent does it with the best of intentions and just trying to and a community and understand themselves. Like none of them are just doing it to gain something or get their hustle on.
It doesn't matter if the neurodivergent people at large are marginalized and treated like shit. People with privilege aren't gonna be stopped just because parts of the healthcare system is abusive and toxic. People of privilege have race faked being black in systems where actually being black puts you on the lowest social step of the sociallader, so the idea of being marginalized clearly isn't a turnoff and might even be an incentive to do so, as long as they get something from it.
If people notice a certain reality of life can be commodified, someone will be there and try to reap the benefits, while not actually having to experience all the aspects, especially the negatives, of that life.

Oh, people are for sure going to fake.
The real question is whether it's appropriate to bring this up in a given context. Often, we just end up making it harder for the non-fakers and/or treating the fakers as though they're fine when the faking is a symptom of being not fine some other way.
