Self-diagnosing autism is kind of a trend right now. I don’t think it’s wrong, and I don’t really believe in identity policing, but… I have friends who’ve really, really struggled because of autism and never had any choice in whether or not they get diagnosed. I know it’s considered a spectrum, but couldn’t self-diagnosing possibly invalidate people who’ve had lifelong struggles related to it?
Things I enjoy right now:
- “Everything’s gonna be okay.”
- Lucy David’s music
- My geese, I guess?
Also, can anyone help me decide what to get my dad for Father’s Day? I’m one stuck girl 🥺
Let me know if you want to travel together or go to a party or museum or something! I welcome any opportunity to get out of northridge!
I guess I’ve done enough blogging all over the place for today.
Also, I’m sorry if I offended anyone with my opinion on self-diagnosing autism. I’m not really saying I have the right answers, There’s just so much variety when it comes to autism that it’s hard to say who’s right (if anyone.) I explicitly support anyone who feels different’s right to identify and express however feels right to them. Especially girls with hairy chins! And girls who get made fun of for wandering around too much! I want you to know you can talk to me any time!
