Being self-diagnosed and being a 'real' aspie are not exclusive, fyi.

Most of the 'real' officially diagnosed aspies start out self-diagnosed. Many others can't afford to actually see a psychiatrist and get it confirmed, and to claim that someone only genuinely has AS if they've had a professional diagnosis is kind of classist.

:) Saw this right after I posted my comment below! I agree completely. I remember one ASD diagnostician quoting me several thousand (UK) pounds just to spend a few hours filling out the same clinical scales you can do for free online. Not to mention how few people are willing even to consider testing adults for ASDs.

But I didn't say that, now did I? 'Real' implies that they actually have it, not necessarily that they've been diagnosed by a professional.

Go make your assumptions somewhere else.

"to claim that someone only genuinely has AS if they've had a professional diagnosis is kind of classist."

You can't diagnose a condition yourself, you need a professional to come to that conclusion.

Reading about it on the internet and then saying "Aha! That sounds like me, so therefore I must have that condition" is self-diagnosis, aka not a real one.

It has nothing to do with being "classist" -- doctors, psychiatrists and other professionals exist for a reason

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

THIS. The first college year of psychology students is full of people who self-diagnose conditions they do not actually have...

[childings.livejournal.com]

Not only that, but let's say you do feel your self-diagnosis is an actual diagnosis. Then what? You still have to see a professional to actually do anything about the condition you have.

I only took the one psych class, but I remember on day one our professor quoting from something I can't remember and saying "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
