Hi not sure how to respond to this other than hi
reminds me of blind melon "i wonder"I have it high functioning diagnosed by a doctor I was seeing in a youth facility for a couple years.
I hear that.animals were usually much more open to my communication style
No I haven't heard of them until nowreminds me of blind melon "i wonder"
do you know it?
That song sounds like someone institutionalized, then free. Powerful.No I haven't heard of them until now
as someone who is diagnosed with autism, ADHD, OCD and probably more without remembering, diagnosis is a privilege. medical professionals are not exempt from being discriminatory towards people based on things unrelated to their disorder. such as race, gender, age, personality, other disabilities, how successful they are in school or social life. in some places, getting diagnosed costs money aswell, which means those in poverty, even if obviously disabled, would find it hard to get a diagnosis. self diagnosis is the first step to being diagnosed professionally, anyways.Why do you people think it's so COOL to say you have autism, Asperger's, AD, HD, ADHD, OCD OR PTSD? Without ever having been diagnosed! What kind of FAKE, twisted enjoyment are you getting from just running around and saying you have them??
Have you ANY idea how hard life can be for a REAL victim of one these afflictions? No, you do not, and you hardly even care. Life for them can be, in some cases, nightmare difficult, and there you are, just casually saying for some stupidly insensitive reason,
"Oh yeah, I'm an aspie" or "Yeah, I'm in the spectrum" or "got me some adhd and autism."
You don't get to decide for yourself you have one of these. There are REAL people actually suffering!
There are specific TESTS for all these afflictions, administered ONLY by mental health professionals.
Get it into your head: If you were never TESTED AND DIAGNOSED for any of them by a professional,
you do NOT have them!
Did I miss something where people were saying whether they were self diagnosed or not? Of course people tested and diagnosed say 'I'm on the spectrum'. It seems sort of ableist to come on a post for autistics and then just randomly posting that the people responding are faking it for no reason. Also, most aren't autistics arent 'suffering' nor do they feel 'afflicted'. It's a spectrum for a reason.Why do you people think it's so COOL to say you have autism, Asperger's, AD, HD, ADHD, OCD OR PTSD? Without ever having been diagnosed!

For the record, I think this generally happens because of a process called "masking", of which the outcome can be a mixture of good (acceptance) and bad (psychologically)Hey
not diagnosed... was stronger when I was younger.. but yes!
This is the only bit I don't totally agree with. From a sociological point of view, people in a close group will try not to make others feel bad. If person A gets an unexpected hurt from B they may show their hurt. Maybe it's kind of like kittens play fighting until one is really hurt and yowls about it, letting the others know they went too far.Most people do this. "I blame you for how I feel." This would be a lie. I do not put feelings inside of you. They are your own.
Fewer people do this. "I work myself up with my own assumptions and I'm afraid.
The problem is good intentions. That "hive mindset" is very dangerious.people in a close group will try not to make others feel bad.
That is likely one reason why hatreds grow. "Hey! Can't you see that what you did made me feel bad? What an asshole you are!" back and forth.
I think you are probably right...For the record, I think this generally happens because of a process called "masking", of which the outcome can be a mixture of good (acceptance) and bad (psychologically)
