Spicy take, I know, but most people who self identify as autistic probably have never met anyone who is legitimately autistic.

Asshole take, you mean? Many people who self-identify as autistic do it because they don't have access or don't want a diagnosis. This doesn't make them any less autistic. There is not one "legitimate" way to be autistic and it definitely doen't require a diagnosis. You're an ableist asshole, but we already knew this just by reading your comment.

"There is not one "legitimate" way to be autistic and it definitely doen't require a diagnosis."

This is a dangerous slippery slope that can be applied to both this topic and too many other things.

It’s really not a slippery slope, and trying to use the slippery slope fallacy here is disingenuous. It’s true that there’s not one “legitimate” way to be autistic. It’s a spectrum for a reason. And there’s a difference between being skeptical of self-diagnosis and gatekeeping autism.

It absolutely does require a professional diagnosis. Especially since there are other neurological issues that might be the reason for certain behaviours that never get diagnosed because suddenly everyone and there dog is "on the spectrum" via self-diagnosis for every little quirk they display.
