EDIT: please, if you don’t agree with the arguments in the video, come in and discuss, don’t just downvote the thread.

I found this video with many arguments supporting self-diagnosis validity and wanted to share.

Main point may be that there is no valid reason to look for a self-diangosis than the fact of being autistic, and needing support for that. At least until there will be equitable access to medical care, self-diagnosis is the only way for people to understand themself and understand the support they may need in their life.

But, there is much more in the video, take a look at it by yourself!

    You clearly don’t know shit about autism and mental health

    I hope you are a qualified doctor. For sure you write a lot about respect, but “you don’t know a shit” about it.

            I suggest you leave any social media/forum/discussion group.

            It seems that you cannot cope with opinions and points of view different from yours, and you will find plenty on these platforms, and this may hurt your feelings

              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.

                I wasn’t against any of that. I support statements backed by research, and that’s why I think that self-diagnosis can be valid, in a limited set of circumstances and if done seriously.

                On the other hand you look like the kind of person who, when discussing, attacks the other participants personally, instead of attacking the core of the argument, thus you sound incapable of a civil discussion.

                  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.

                    You are very good at giving your behavior excuses.

                    Anyways, go on live your happy self-diagnosed life

                    That’s not what I do ( see here ).

                    You know, it looks like you think everybody on the internet (and in life?) is saying things just to defend themselves, their own interests, (maybe because that’s what you do?) but it’s not always the case.
