dda and there's also the fact that almost all of those terminally online autistic people live in mommy and daddy's basement with no job and never have to try to navigate the world, so they can't comprehend that for some people with autism life can actually be pretty difficult regardless of their specific level of impairment.

this times a million. or the folks who say that it isn't a disorder. no, it actively makes my life harder, and that's part of the diagnostic criteria. if it's not impairing you in some way, you don't have autism! wild!

this is why i don't think self-diagnosis is valid on its face and that online communities SHOULD gatekeep; don't require proof of a medical dx, but at least say people who have received one are the expectation because most of the self-dx crowd is just weird. they're not dealing with an actual disorder, they're not having to deal with the foreign language of school and employment and shit. but i wouldn't dare admit that anywhere in namespace. i am sympathetic to it being expensive, but if you need accommodations you need the diagnosis. and if you don't, you are not impaired.

The struggle is felt. I'm feeling like maybe I do need more support than I thought I did, and that the people who know me are right to be concerned over it.

Acting like it's just "a difference", not a disability doesn't help people - especially adults who have a hard time getting the supports they need due to all the misconceptions out there.
