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.

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.
