Re: this is a thread about Asperger's

(Anonymous) 2013-10-28 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Professionally diagnosed as a teen, and I honestly don't give a damn about people self-diagnosing if they've done their homework. I don't know how it is in any other countries, but under the current US healthcare system getting formally tested for ASDs is stupidly expensive.

People who share enough symptoms to seriously identify with the diagnosis for an extended period of time are likely to benefit from many of the same coping skills and strategies even if they didn't quite find the most accurate label, people who don't seriously identify will usually drop it as soon as they get bored and/or start to encounter actual stigma, and people prone to bullshit excuses will make them whether or not they have a piece of paper to back them up. (For all that people complain about that behavior being rampant on the internet, I've seen it only a handful of times and almost all of them were from people who were professionally diagnosed.)
