  • I wouldn’t say that I’m loved by too many people, but not many people hate me either, so I can’t complain too much. I would say that I can get a little intense when I’m talking to people, but I’m mostly tolerated. Nobody’s gotten tested because of me, yet, maybe someday.

    And you’re not stealing the peer reviewed diagnosis phrasing, I didn’t come up with it, unfortunately I can’t remember who I first heard using it.

    I agree, peer reviewed diagnoses are incredibly important. It’s easier to try and find similarities with other people that you know to be different, than it is to look at a list of symptoms and try to figure out if you have any of them or enough to actually be neurodivergent. I was peer reviewed by a couple of my friends, that flat out told me that I was autistic. Then I got in a waitlist (it was 11 whole months, US wait times suck too). I got my diagnosis, and absolutely nothing in my life changed. I mean, now nobody could possibly tell me that I’m not autistic, but only assholes would do that in the first place. In my humble opinion, a peer reviewed diagnosis is more than sufficient for anything relating to neurodivergence.




  • Speak to the council, they will decide your diagnosis. Nah, just talk to your autistic friends for a while. Within a few weeks of knowing you, they should be able to tell you if they believe you to be autistic. If a bunch of them tell you that they think you’re autistic, then you’re definitely neurodivergent, probably got the tism. Might want to get an official diagnosis, if you want to.
