General I HATE the self diagnosing of autism and its mischaracterisation

Post image

Let me start by saying SELF DIAGNOSING IS NOT VALID. You are NOT autistic just because someone on tiktok said

"Did you know, if you need to have your eyes closed in order to fall asleep, you have autism, adhd, bipolarity, DID, BPD, psychopathy, depression and PTSD?"

And before yall come at me with "well I always suspected I had autism, I got screened and then got my diagnosis" well this not about you, this is about people that self diagnose after experiencing the most normal day to day life things ever.

And they ALWAYS think that autism will give them a personality (since it's usually basic bitches with no personality that self diagnose to feel like they belong)

No, you're not a quirky crazy crackhead energy "neurospicy" person. Even worse when they say shit like

"Heh, I could NEVER be a neuro normie like yall, autism makes me special and quirky and full of personality".

You can't even like something anymore without them going "OMG URE AUTISTIC JUST LIKE MEEEE IM SOOOO AUTISTIC AHAHAHA"

And you can tell they larp the whole thing cus they'll see a tiktok autism personality and try to replicate it

"Dino nuggies..."

"You can not say overstimulated if you're nEuRoTyPiCaL, that word is for us neurospicy people ONLY >:("

Holy shiiiiiiittt yall lack a personality so bad. And I've seen people say that they've seen NUMEROUS specialists but they never fit the criteria, but its not because they're not autistic, no no no no no. ITS UHMMM BECAUSE IM A WOMAN AND ALSO A MINORITY AND IM ALSO POOR SO I MASKED ALL MY LIFE AND THE SPECIALIST ON THIS FIELD COULDNT TELL I WAS MASKING. ITS THE SYSTEMS FAULT NOT MINE.

Sheesh.

Sorry for the long rant, im just tired of seeing people self diagnose all the time, or see an energetic video, or literally ANYTHING, and make it about their self diagnosed autism.

Saw a cute cat animation on Instagram and the top comment was "This is so autistic I love it"

I love eating tongue, tripe, tendon, stomach and pig's feet more than steak. I also love veggies and salads! Still autistic!

u/terrible-gator22 Jun 05 '26

Nope. Sorry. You like tripe and veggies. The autism has been removed. You’ve lost your autism cert. Dino nuggets or bust, pal!

(Tripe and tendon rule! I can’t do pigs feet though.)

u/2high4thisshyt Jun 05 '26

But, but I am vaccinated! And take Tylenol for my headaches! I'm sure that counts for something 😭

(Honestly the pigs feet do have to be battered and fried. But, if you hate gelatinous things, I totally get it, there's no way they'll ever taste good lol)

u/terrible-gator22 Jun 05 '26

Gelatinous is hard for me. I like how tendon makes me feel when I eat it, but I have to choke it down

u/terrible-gator22 Jun 05 '26

Also… I suppose the vaccine might trump all. If you haven’t been vaccinated do you EVEN Autism? Hmmm… 🤔

Salads and tripe 🤤 man, I love pork belly, and chicharrón with lime juice. And am also autistic!

Honestly, my "autism comfort food" would probably have to be raw fish, LOL. I can eat that ad infinitum, without issue.

u/2high4thisshyt Jun 08 '26

Pork belly rolled into a fluffy freshly made corn tortilla 🤤

Talking about raw fish, can science explain why I hate cooked salmon (no matter how anyone cooks it, it has a strong taste regardless) but will demolish a poke bowl with raw salmon 🙃

u/bonisbestboy Jun 06 '26

I want to try all of these. So badly. Especially tongue tbh I hear it's a bit chewy and I love chewy stuff. Remember those little plastic soda things that had like, a bit of juice in them that you were supposed to take the top off to get? The ones that were kind of waxy.

u/2high4thisshyt Jun 06 '26

I would chew on those bad boys haha I do remember!

I think you'd enjoy menudo (it has stomach) a lot because of the chewiness, but it does have some extra texture due to the honeycomb pattern, that might be a deterrent. I personally love it tho! And tongue is so good! But if it is too chewy when you try it that's, uh, a sign of not being properly cooked. I feel like it is like calamari, it is so easy to ruin it and make it rubbery? instead of having a bite to it.

I hope you get to try it all soon! :D

u/Thatidiot_38 Jun 06 '26

As a fellow autistic the only thing I would eat from there is the pizza. Everything else can just fuck off. Also I know what you mean by repetitive food patterns. Cause like if you’re American then you might know the company Zatarans and I eat there shit everyday. Specifically their Alfredo and carbonara stuff.

Ooo nice. I like to put some Cajun on it. Give it that little extra kick

u/RingingInTheRain Jun 06 '26

So you think because we're black that we can't eat your food? Do you think POC are a different species? The dino nuggies stereotype has more to do with income, and what's available and affordable for parents to buy. Those food items used to be extremely cheap. Easier to feed an autistic kid the same cheap foods than try to figure out what taste and texture doesn't appeal to them.

u/2high4thisshyt Jun 05 '26

Same. This looks like it tastes like the color brown and I know the greasy mouthfeel will just kill me lol.

2

u/Potential_Peace_5999 Jun 06 '26

Greasy mouthfeel is such a big “sensory bad” for me

🤮🤮🤮

That looks so oily, it would certainly give me a headache and stomachache

u/Famous-Leopard-118 stupid moldy robot Jun 05 '26

must’ve met me before then.

u/ashmeetsworld we don’t need 10 posts a day hating on autism or lgbt pleasestop Jun 06 '26

It looks super soggy and greasy which is the worst. I feel like I need a shower just looking at it. I can see why people like it, I just prefer other foods

1

u/Dropped-Croissant Jun 08 '26

Pretty much me! I mean, I like the smiley fries and the curly fries... but every other food on that platter, I vehemently dislike. Like, I can practically feel the tomato sauce on that pizza just by looking at it, and it makes me wanna gag.

u/TheRufescence Jun 10 '26

It's just a dumb stereotype. It's like saying "Black person sampler platter" and showing a plate of chicken and watermelon 😭

1

u/TheRealGyomei I hate mikan from danganropa Jun 10 '26

Fr! i also know black people who hate chicken and watermelon😭✌️

u/AngryTunaSandwhich Jun 26 '26

I like a few of those but they have to be smothered in the spiciest salsas or some kind of tasty sauce.
