Diagnosis is being given a paper that makes dickbags believe your lived experience is legitimate.
You don’t, and shouldn’t, need a diagnosis to know you are neurodivergent.
Are you high? Self-diagnoses leads to an incredible amount of poor choices, and your condoning, much less outright championing that bullshit is disgustingly irresponsible. Do better. Be better. Next time.
Nah I’m championing it. I’ve spent decades in this system and worked with people who do the diagnosing. Your position of reverence for the process of diagnosis or the authority of those doing diagnosis is not well founded. People who are too poor to get diagnosed are still needing help regardless of wheather an academic has weighted in on the subject. Diagnosis is an opinion, to get insurance to pay for healthcare. That’s all it is. I can recommend you some books on the subject if you actually care to learn more about the topic of how diagnosis actually works.
Sorry, not sorry. You’re so full of shit at every turn, that question becomes more substantiated with every sentence you burble out. (For example: “…doing diagnoses”? FFS. Really?) Your feeble attempt to employ logical fallacy to prop up your lack of argument by exploiting some faceless demographic and shift the concern from your own personal opinion is juvenile and transparent AF. I know I said “Do better” already, but maybe you need to hear it more often. Do better.
