[pupneil]

Stop faking DID. Tiktok sucks.

[pupneil]

DID doesn't exist the way you want it to.

[pupneil]

The split attraction model is shit. Just say you have internalized homophobia.

[pupneil]

So...being autistic is a trend now??

So many people claiming to be autistic or that want to have autism.

Just stop.

[chaoticautie]

You LITERALLY sound like the Karens that say autism is an epidemic or that more people are randomly autistic now because diagnoses have increased over the years

I'd explain it to you, but I'm just gonna tell you to shut the fuck up because your ignorant ableist ass ain't worth the effort.

[pupneil]

Then why'd you come to my post? I'm not talking about diagnoses. I'm talking about people claiming to have it.

[revolutionarykoolaid]

[pupneil]

This is perfect.

[pupneil]

Just found out Tenderqueer is a thing.

That explains a lot.

PSA

If you leave out important information when talking to your therapist then you aren't getting the help you need.

[pupneil]

Homosexual heteromantic identities are stupid.

There is a huge problem with self diagnosing. This is because many of the people that are self diagnosing aren't doing it because they actually think they have it. They are doing it because they see it as a trend and something that makes them "different" or "quirky" and also allows them to dismiss their behavior which is incredibly fucked up and ableist in itself.

Also just because YOU specifically aren't using it as gender identity doesn't mean people aren't.

Neuroqueer and Autigender are both identities that most of the autistic community disapprove of.

When they are used as gender identities they are othering people with autism, which is also ableist as fuck. As far as it being used to describe an experience, sure. But that's not what many of these people are doing. Just because you disagree with something doesn't make it ableist.

Also, I do what I want.

[bif-thetiredjewishthembo]

Yikes. You realize that for every person that you think supposedly self dxes because of a “trend” as you call it, there are probably hundreds if not thousands of fellow autistics who *have* to self dx because either they are forcefully being misdiagnosed (often because of their gender age and/or race) or medical professionals refuse to acknowledge their disability (again usually because of gender age and/or race). I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar disorder because “ohhhhh ‘she’s’ just a moody ‘girl’” and “‘women’ and all those pesky mood swings”. Like i was literally told by a doctor who had spoken to me for all of 10 mins that I couldnt be autistic because “women dont have autism.” Because breaking news only recently (like within the past 5 years) has medicine started to accept that autistic folks could be anything other than a cis white boy that magically sheds their autism when they turn 18.

So yeah excuse me if i had to self dx for a few years because literally the ONLY way I was able to get a correct diagnosis (which after nearly 2 decades of fighting for it, i finally have) was to be confident enough that I was autistic so that doctors would actually listen to me instead of following outdated science based on a model of white men and boys, things of which I am not.

But the fact is, your gatekeeping (and it IS gatekeeping) helps no one. There are so few people who abuse self dx (they exist, I accept that but i doubt in any numbers that are actually worth mentioning) to say that self dx as a whole is bad or anyone who self dxes is faking it for a “trend.” For most of us in a racist sexist ageist medical system and model self dx is literally survival. Who are you to say that someone who self dxes is actually autistic or not. Are you them??? Are you their medical professional or someone who has known them for years so much so that you understand such an important aspect of their life? No you arent. You’re an edgelord on the internet that thinks its cool to cause discorse and shit on other people’s personal positivity euphoria and identity because you think its fun. You seem to want to speak for the autistic community (or at least on the behalf of the “majority of autistics” your words not mine), well i’m a member of that community and you sure as HELL dont speak for me.

[pupneil]

Sorry that happened to you. It's still not a gender identity and people are still using it as a trend.

AND I still do what I want.

[bif-thetiredjewishthembo]

Yeah you can “do what you want” but that doesnt mean you are free from any criticism at all. People still reserve the right to disagree with you and criticize your points, especially when they dont seem to be based in any fact. If you would like, I could provide you a long ass paper I wrote that explains the Autism misdiagnosis problem based on scientific evidence and various sources. But where’s you evidence that the majority of folks who self diagnose are faking it for a trend? And no, a few examples of accounts on tumblr is not verifiable evidence.

And again who are you to deligitimize someone’s happiness? Like I may not agree with the use of Autigender as someone’s identity, and I personally only use it to describe my experience with gender. But just because I disagree that doesnt mean i get to shit all over the person I disagree with, especially if what they’re saying or doing causes them genuine euphoria. Its no different than the transphobes that argue that Trans folks or Non-binary folks are not real identities. Honestly there are very few lines to draw as far as what identities should be widely accepted and which should not because of the harm it causes certain communities and autigender is not where we should be focusing our energy to draw that line.

Theres an actual movement by Neo-Nazis to convince cis folks that there is an “age gender” called clovergender for pedophiles and people who claim to be “trans-race” (who “change” their race usually through methods like blackface and skin treatments) and “trans-medical” (who physically disable themselves, often through amputation or other surgeries) like maybe if focusing on identities that severely harm communities is your thing maybe focus on those because I can guarantee you that those are very real issues that transphobes weaponize against us constantly.

[pupneil]

You can criticise me all you want, and just because you do doesn't mean there aren't people that agree with me and I can still have an opinion. Yes my points are still based on fact. Just because I'm not providing you with an "essay" doesn't mean they aren't. You can make a Google search or use peer reviewed journals to argue any point. All it takes is for you to look for that argument. There's research for it all. Just like I'm sure there's info for whatever argument you are trying to make. No, don't send me your "essay" because I won't read it.

Don't worry. I go after transphobes and all that shit too.

But doing this isn't going to change either of our opinions. 🤷🏻

[bif-thetiredjewishthembo]

Yeah except if you’re trying to make a point, usually you have to back it up yourself, not expect other people to do the research for you. I’m willing to back up the claims that I am making. The burden of proof is on you if you want your points to be taken seriously. Imagine if you were asked to write a paper on “why the sky is blue” and you say to your professor “well the sky is blue because I said so but its /your/ job to do the work so go google it. Also i’d like an A please.” Yeah dont think that would work too well. If you want people to take what your saying seriously, then you need to back up your shit with honest to god information and not just your degree from google university or worse expecting other folks to do the work for you.

[pupneil]

I never asked for your essay or to write one either. I'm not at school. Lmao if you are that curious for information you can look it up yourself. There's plenty of it out there. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone on the internet who, like I said, isn't going to change my opinion and my goal isn't to change yours because that isn't going to happen either. 😂

[bif-thetiredjewishthembo]

Hey, I’m just giving you some life advice so maybe folks will actually value what you’re saying instead of dismissing you like I am. Take it or leave it. Thats up to you. 🤷🏼

[pupneil]

I'll leave it, thanks. Cause I'm still dismissing what you're saying.

[pupneil]
