This has been a huge controversy in the Autistic Community for some time, people self-diagnosing as Autistic. I personally have a lot of mixed feelings about this, on the one hand, I kind of prefer diagnosis be official and done by professionals; but on the other hand, I’ve stated many time on here that I have, and am continuing to, print-out diagnostic material for my future children, on the off chance that the Autism-deniers have their way and succeed in redefining all Autism as level-3 Autism. On top of that, if someone came up to me and told that they’re level-1 Autistic, I’d give them plenty of a benefit of a doubt; and if they showed me their AQ score, I’d all but be convinced that they’re Autistic.
On top of all that, I’ve heard accounts that official diagnosis has unintentionally or intentionally become really difficult and slow, I’m not sure how accurate those accounts are.
What are your thoughts and knowledge on this?
