Ok but if you think about it anti self diagnosis stuff is so stupid sometimes
'Hey I have self dxed autism'
'You do not have autism bc a medical professional has not approved this and therefore you are not autistic'
Imagine if you applied that to smth like cancer and then that person later died of cancer. Hey if its not diagnosed then its not real and cant affect you so everyone who died of smth that they didnt get diagnosed obviously did not have that
You can see how thats stupid right?
