i dont get r/fakedisordercringe
I’m not in their community but i saw someone post about saying self diagnosis is ableist and i just wanted to put my input as an autistic person but apparently just mentioning that you have autism can get your comment taken down?
i don’t understand why you wont let people with these disabilities to say what diagnosis they have and have an input on the conversation. me having autism does add to my perspective on me believing self diagnosis is not ableist especially as someone who was late diagnosed and had to self diagnose for a while before i could even consider getting a diagnosis. i wasn’t just mentioning it for funnies
i don’t think self diagnosis is inherently ableist, if your calling yourself autistic in place of the word stupid i think thats ableist
i just hate that community i go there every-once in a while to downvote stuff because i think its actually more ableist to hyper-focus on every-single disabled person you meet to decide whether you, a non professional, determine they’re disabled
