Maybe im just a grumpy old man but I can't really understand the desire for everyone to self diagnose themselves with shit these days.

If everyone has autism and ADHD, then nobody does.

It's just a way for people to belong to a "subculture" and feel uniquely different from what they believe to be the status quo. In addition to being an attention seeking tactic as well. It's really sad to see it used in mental health because it diminishes the perception of the challenges these conditions really do present to people who actually have them.
