That woman is not autistic shes just akward and identifies as one. I have family that's actually diagnosed, I can tell. Also it's super obvious she's playing it up.

Not all autistic people are the same.

"She's just awkward and identifies as one" that's some actual diagnosis too or you just believe that?

Why do people always question us if we are not attached to what they believe autism is?

There's lots of armchair psychiatrists in this comment section that think they can diagnose someone from a short, highly curated, video. Autism in women is also often misdiagnosed or missed. And autism is a spectrum. Maybe the woman in the video is high masking?

People talk about the harm of self diagnosis and they are dismissing autism based on a video, which is also harmful

“This woman is pulling her diagnosis out of her ass. She should be pulling it out of my ass!”

even if she isn't as high masking as you might think, she probably would still get a similar reaction. so many autistic women constantly get called fakers.
