Totally autistic people who are not just nerotips trying to make themselves feel speshul defend self diagnosis:http://rosemary-the-skunk.tumblr.com/post/93569983487/autisticfandomthings-rosemary-the-skunk

Self diagnosis is not only incredibly lazy but it's also a slap in the face to the people who spent time and money getting a proper diagnosis.

This, so much. I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was six, and anxiety disorder when I was 20. nowadays I'm a bit reluctant to mention my condition, because so many people online use Asperger's as an excuse for being an asshole. I had to train myself for years to look people in the eye, and they run around using it to be jerks.

I think tumblr has a real problem with implicitly trusting any sort of claim without any sort of proof, due to how much they emphasis the "your mind makes it real" belief.  They're so obsessed with "safe spaces" and "comfort zones" and "non-oppression" that they've implemented a system of "always take somebody's word for it because they know themselves better than anyone".  If you don't automatically believe every single claim even if there's proof, you're labeled a "bully", "policer", "ableist", "classist", etc.  And I think it's getting to a point where these people believe they don't need to prove anything to anyone, and that their word should be good enough.

Same here (minus the anxietey bit), except I was 17, and mine shows up more as saying exactly the wrong thing than an inability to look people in the eyes.

despite my faulty brain cabling, i thought i only had hallucinations and depression. both unrelated. then someone i knew told me i might be aspie. then an aspie friend told me he thought i was aspie. then my lady told me she thought i was aspie, that it was annoying but endearing the way i don't look in the eyes and get very socially awkward very fast (paradoxical for a musician).

... i really don't want to find out for sure because of the shit tumblr does to you. would i care if i was aspie? not much. but being diagnosed aspie would lump me in with all the tmblrina douchecanoes that make life hard for iosa and svata, and i don't want that. it's not my battle.

[Witchyjoshy]

Whoa whoa whoa, why would you think getting diagnosed would lump you in with them?

Unless you meant self-diagnosed, but even then, there are self-diagnosed people who don't shout it from the rooftops or even claim that they have it with certainty.  (They are really rare, though, and it's still not a good thing to self-diagnose)

But if you were to get officially diagnosed, well, I don't think anyone would accuse you of being a tumblrina.  Unless they were stupid edgy types who believe psychology is a shame.

. . . I don't have any kind of autism.  I just hate the "we don't need proof of anything" attitude.

[RavynousHunter]

I know someone who's feeding their dog a vegan diet.  Yes, I wish to strike her for it.  Hard.
