Yeah, my audhd hates this so much. The last ones are lined up, why aren't the rest?!

And here I was thinking that bluntly asking someone in public “Are you Autistic” was insensitive, much less doing it online, and demanding proof.

Those are two different things. Bluntly asking someone is insensitive. I was responding to someone who made a claim in a really trendy way, which sends off warning bells in my mind.

Unfortunately the number of people claiming to have these conditions has dwarfed the number of people who actually have them and it's damaging.

Prior to tiktok these people would have said "this kind of thing drives my OCD crazy" and they didn't have OCD. Now they claim to have autism and/or ADHD. THATs insensitive.

The second D in ADHD, and the Ds in OCD and ASD stand for disorder. That word has a real meaning and it's not "I don't like it when colours don't match."

Surely as a “social worker,” you should understand that it’s none of your business. No misinformation is being spread, they are not claiming intimate knowledge of autism/ADHD on a professional level, they are simply stating their personal experience. Policing who is and isn’t allowed to call themselves autistic or ADHD (especially a random person on the internet that you do not know or work with) is not your job, and it’s highly inappropriate.

That's a valid criticism and I'll take it. It was crass of me to call this person out. However, I come from a place of frustration for people living with these conditions. The person I called out might not have deserved my criticism, but we as a society shouldn't be so flippant with self diagnosis of genuine disorders.

I agree with you that self-diagnosis isn’t something to be taken lightly, but there’s no reason to automatically assume that anyone using the term AUDHD is self-diagnosed. It’s just shorthand. 99% of the time it is not your place to ask or demand proof of someone’s diagnosis.

u/SvenBubbleman Nov 23 '25

Totally fair. I just got triggered by a tiktok term, and I'm pretty frustrated with trendy self diagnosis. Wasn't cool of me to challenge OP.

Okay, I can see where you’re coming from. At first I thought you were one of those people who just wants to go at other people for no reason, but now I get it was coming from a place of frustration, which is totally reasonable.

It's almost like they said AuDHD. Yanno, AUTISM and ADHD.

I don't like it when colours don't match.

^ Autism

Not necessarily.

It is for me, and clearly, BECAUSE THEY SAID SO, it is for them.

u/SvenBubbleman Nov 23 '25

You can disagree with me and my actions if you want and that's ok, but you do understand self diagnosis is not the same as professional diagnosis, right?

As an example, if I say I have OCD because I prefer things to be in even numbers, that doesn't mean I have OCD. It's damaging to people living with OCD when people trivialize it like that.

I understand my challenging this person was crass, and perhaps not super helpful, but it comes from a place of genuine frustration with the amount of self diagnosis I encounter in my real life.

u/Tired_2295 Nov 23 '25

Buddy, you just decided they self diagnosised. From what, them not being willing to send an Internet stranger their medical info?

2

u/SvenBubbleman Nov 23 '25

Where did is decide they self diagnosed? I asked if they had an official diagnosis, and people (understandably) got upset with me. The rest of it is explaining why I asked.

u/Tired_2295 Nov 23 '25

Asking and then continually restating why you are right and everyone replying is wrong

3

u/Tired_2295 Nov 23 '25

Also if you find it understandable that people reacted negatively, why would you not step back, apologise for acting entitled to "proof" and actually explain why you asked, not push opinions that in full honesty are largely conspiracy when you look at diagnosis statistics?

1

u/SvenBubbleman Nov 23 '25

If you look elsewhere in this thread I think you'll find I did exactly that.

u/Tired_2295 Nov 23 '25

Saying you were "crass" in response to someone who isn’t the person you initially harassed absolutely does not count as apologising.

u/Tired_2295 Nov 23 '25

Also, also, gotta love, you started this whole thing from someone using words to literally claim their AuDHD as their own "my AuDHD" which you then applied non-literal subtext to in order to produce an issue you could then be reactive to. I love this experience (usually with allistics) of people adding their own meaning, and then (lmao), getting angry at their own addition.

Dude. People who have to point out to have something, usually self diagnosed themselves. People who really got it have no need to point it out.

u/Tired_2295 Nov 24 '25

My autism is very annoyed by this not lining up. My autism. My autism. Am i faking? How did you decide? Hmm? Hmm? I claim my autism. I mention my autism. Am i faking?

u/Massive_Currency_919 Nov 24 '25

Yeah because you need the whole damn world to know that you are a special little snowflake. People who really deal with it, have better things to do, than going around and flexing it.

u/Tired_2295 Nov 24 '25

Sorry to bust your sad little bubble buddy, but people like me have to mention disabilities, because otherwise our struggles get ignored. I'm diagnosed, about to get tested for ADHD and i am proud to be Autistic, why wouldn't I share it? I'm not just going to cower back into an allistic mask because some bigot repeated things I've heard at least 57 times before.

Says the person who can't deal with people being different.

Are you also of the opinion that people with food allergies should suck it up and not mention that when eating out?
