It's probably helpful to point out that at least a couple prominent experts on autism say that Asperger's self-diagnosis is extremely likely to be accurate - the lowest percentage I've seen stated is 85%, the highest 97%. Given that a lot of people slipped through childhood (especially if they grew up in the 70s, 80s, and at the very least the early 90s) without a diagnosis because it either did not exist or it was fairly new and many clinicians were unfamiliar with it.

Trans "self-diagnosis" (even though being trans is not itself a diagnosis - the diagnosis is called "gender identity disorder" and is pretty awful in how it describes trans people) is also extremely likely to be accurate.

A lot of legitimately trans people convince themselves that transition will fix everything. This is because living pre-transition sucks beyond the telling of it, and because it is so very easy to idealize the entire process. Many get past that idealization during transition because it is so very apparent that it is not only a cure for all troubles, it introduces new ones. Anyway, this isn't a contraindication against being trans, it's just pretty common.
