Honestly, a lot of these diagnoses are just a collection of personality traits. I tend not to take certain conditions too seriously because of this. I honestly feel like the label actually gives people a reason to rely on their illness as a crutch, but that's just my two-cents. Not everything in psychology is a science, unfortunately.

"the label actually gives people a reason to rely on their illness as a crutch,"

and that's the type of thinking that gets people into trouble. A label or diagnosis should not be an excuse, and people who use it as such are wrong. A diagnosis is there to help you cope and understand yourself. Example: I have ADD. I don't use this as an excuse to jump all over the room or have shitty papers or whatever. I use it as a tool to then go and research coping mechanisms and things that will specifically help a brain with ADD.

And I'm not saying that everyone does this, but the whole using it as an excuse thing just perpetuates horrible stereotypes and ideas, and then we get secrets like this.

The real problem is parents of Autistic kids and Ass-pies using the diagnosis as a "get out of parenting free" card. Yeah, they now don't have to control their kid, everyone else just has to tolerate the little shit's bad behaviour because the brat is now special. If a kid gets a diagnosis of autism then it means parents have to work three or four times as hard teaching social norms, reinforcing social norms, looking at places and asking is it safe/fair (to the child and others) to take their kid there (and if it is a diagnosis of aspergers, it is a sign they need to go to a different clinician and get a real diagnosis instead of a fictional one). It is a life limiting diagnosis, not a responsibility abdicating one. Sadly very, very, very, very few parents actually want that responsibility. They are just there for the diagnosis so they can be relieved of the title of bad parent.
