Actually, I hate it so much when people act like they have syndromes or illnesses (and I don’t mean people who actually have them).
I mean when they’re like I’m autistic, I have OCPD, My anxiety won’t let me, and bla bla . while they’re actually don’t really have these conditions , they just want attention , I mean this will effect people who actually have it and need our true attention .
And another thing about autistic ... look I don't know if autistic can be like us the people with no autism, i mean I've dealt with many autistic people when my sister was conducting therapy sessions for them at home. Yes, there are perceptions of them, but I don't know if there's a group of them who look like they dont have and say, "I think I have autism." I might be uneducated about this group and I'm sorry , tell me and correct me , again I'm not talking about who really have these conditions , i dont want them to feel like I'm mocking their suffering; I know it's a difficult things and I send them my support , I mean who don't have.
(Again, I don’t mean the people who truly have these illnesses, because I know they’re trying their best to cope with them or get rid of them if they can )

but why do you get to decide if they actually have these comditions or not? how would you know for sure? autism is not like a cookie cutter. every autistic person functions differently and displays symptoms differently and it's very reductive for you to decide someone is not autistic (or any other thing) without proof, just based on how they act
Well as I said the autism part was the one I'm not educated enough about so correct me :-)

you shouldnt speak so boldly on things youre not educated about. if you want to know about how autism is a broad spectrum (hence why it's called Autism Spectrum Disorder), do your research and THEN you can talk about it

Girl relax I didn't talk boldly I said sorry and I showed empathy for people who are suffering, three times, and I excluded people who are truly suffering three times. In the end, I'm really annoyed by those who pretend to be in a condition they don't have.

i am relaxed. i'm letting you know that you're wrong about what autism is, that's all. i am autistic. you need to examine why you're getting defensive, when all i'm doing is correcting you and encouraging you to do research if you want to know more. and also that, again, you don't get to decide who is "pretending"

Well you wrote" THEN " witch mean you're not relaxed, and I'm just offensive by who pretend and make diagnosis by themselves, because it's still annoying tbh

so you think because i capitalized one single word, i'm not relaxed? i did that to like, annunciate that particular word, not because i was yelling or something. don't assume things about people, i know tone is hard to read over text, but assuming someone is being aggressive or something just because they used caps is... not great. i'm trying to have a discussion with you and you're just getting offended and defensive

I'm not offended and defensive, I'm just talking normally, and I was offended by the part of people who pretend, you know what, you're right
by Twete; ; Report
bottom line that you dont seem to get: you just don't get to decide who is pretending. some people are great at hiding their condition out of necessity. that's called masking, and many autistic and mentally ill people are all but forced to mask because of how the world treats us when we don't
i know some people self diagnose without research, and yes that is annoying, but it's still reductive to decide someone is faking just by looking at them or being around them for a short time or whatever

I agree with you 💯

thank you for talking with me about it <3 genuinely i wasnt angry or anything, it just bugs me when people mischaracterize autism and stuff, you know? but i try to be chill about it because i know discussion is better than getting angry and pointing fingers
btw i love all the cat gifs on your profile
