I hate self-diagnosis… Anonymous 118752
But I’m genuinely and almost certainly convinced that I have autism.
One side of my mind wants to finally have the personal validation of knowing more about myself. The other side wants to leave it alone.

>>118752You probably aren't autistic, just got trapped on a circle of destructive behaviour so powerful that it seems like something inevitable like a syndrome instead of something the circumstances have made.

Autism is a genuine and verifiable life defining syndromic developmental disorder anon.
Or at least it used to be. These days the diagnosis has been watered down to be more of a personality quirk or characteristic rather than the disease it actually is.
The person who coined the term, Bleuler actually promoted sterilizing them, same with schizophrenics, another term Bleuler coined that also used to refer to an actual life destroying disease rather than some kind of horoscope star sign bullshit/overpathologization of normal behaviour/legal disclaimer to justify bad behavior
If you had actual autism you would know it, you wouldn't be sitting around pondering it.
Fuck Hans Asperger he ruined autism
