"Autism" - 4th November 2023
This one got a couple of comments on Mastodon accusing me of 'gatekeeping' Autism. That definitely wasn't my intention - and to explain there are two things that wind me up more than anything else...
1) People who lie for convenience. I can think of a very specific case of someone claiming they have ADHD when they have never been diagnosed, show none of the symptoms or behavioural traits, and generally just use it as an excuse to make other people's lives miserable (in one case, caught out doing so).
2) People who assume that self-diagnosis is valid. Go and get a proper assessment, then come back to me when you've been properly diagnosed and I'm far more likely to be sympathetic and understanding. Don't try to bullshit me, I'm too old to not recognise a bullshitter when I see one.
