What are your thoughts on self-diagnosis being belittled by many in the autistic community?

For clarity, I’m not asking to start a debate, just a genuine discussion. I currently don’t have the option to get a diagnosis, but feel fairly confident that the research I’ve done over the past year and a half has been legitimate and credible.

I don’t feel comfortable saying that I am definitively autistic, but I am ok with saying I’m “self-suspecting.” @actuallyautistic

@chevalier26 As a very late realised , I want to add my reassurances about self-discovery vs formal diagnosis. A majority of Autists have their informal diagnosis confirmed if/when they go through the formal assessment.
I'm not sure what the gatekeepers expect to gain from their actions. @actuallyautistic

@b9AcE Yeah, they said that conditions had increased the difficulty. Putting out extra effort due to duty, perhaps.

I’ve been reading about “stimming in autism”, which up until now was very confusing to me mostly because that’s the one point kept being repeated in the community being a must for an autistic individual. And I can’t relate to that at all.

Then I came across something that describes the purpose of ‘stimming’ is to deal with extra energy. Then it kinda hit me, I’ve never had the need to stim because I’m a low energy person in general.

I get overwhelmed with activities when they involve raising heart rates (yes, THAT too). I like quiet things, dead of night etc. Once at a time in my life, I was pretty sure I could hear flow of electricity.

So my question to the #ActuallyAutistic community: do you think stimming is a must for autistic people? Do you relate to it? Anyone know of any low energy stimming that gets overlooked?

Thanks! Much love!! 💕 #Autism #Neurodivergent #stimming @actuallyautistic

@farah Stimming is also a self-soothing activity...especially in stressful situations. If you don't need it, it doesn't make you less autistic, afaik. Mine are mostly unobtrusive, thus unnoticeable, now. I used to chew my nails. I used to smoke cigarettes. @actuallyautistic

Housing prices today are absolute nuts; in 2003 our apartment cost less than half of the median unit price in Melbourne today. God knows how we'd buy a place nowadays on freelance incomes. Way past time for government to remove property investor tax incentives.

@timrichards I fail to see how it can benefit the ones who are doing this, in the long run. Bunch of Nottingham Sheriffs. What will they do for kicks when they have priced everyone - including themselves - out of the market?

I’m on an extremely clean, affordable, fast, and timely monorail train to the airport in Naha, Okinawa. It even has these gated walls to prevent injury.

Sometimes when I see what is possible elsewhere, I can’t believe the state of US transit.

I hate when media does inspiration porn stories in general, but particularly when:

  • They let a newly disabled person with tons of internalized ableism become "the voice of disabled people"

and

  • When that "success story" clearly came from access to therapeutic supports the average person doesn't have, yet now everyone who doesn't meet their standard of recovery "must not be trying hard enough". #Ableism @disability
Tooden,
@Tooden@aus.social avatar

@meganL Every damn time. Pressures are also brought to bear - to encourage, entreat, or exhort the injured to become self supporting; to become as whole as their injury will allow. Anything else is weak-minded and defeatist. Some ableist ponces decided that compaasion is leftist. @disability
