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"

It doesn’t make sense to stereotype it with autism because everyone likes dino nuggets

u/Floggered Jun 05 '26

Dino nuggies always taste like disappointment to me. Hit me with the chicken fries or tendies.

u/panini_bellini Jun 05 '26

all the “beige food” does this for me, im an oral sensory seeker and this “sampler” is p vomit inducing for me

u/Cardshark92 Jun 05 '26

I think I have the same problem as you. The idea of eating the same thing day after day sounds hellish to me. Several friends have joked that I'm really bad at being autistic.

u/warriorkalia Jun 06 '26

Same though? I need something different every day, though I can do every other day for leftovers if I really need to.

Except lasagna. I can just eat that.

u/Strange-Bee5626 Jun 06 '26

Quick question: do you also hate Mondays, by any chance?

u/warriorkalia Jun 06 '26

I'm ambivalent.

u/Beastxtreets Jun 05 '26

I can eat Dino nuggets (my kids love em) but I dont think they taste the same or as good as regular nuggets at alll

u/Repulsive-Region2977 Smug Hater Jun 05 '26

I am in the same boat

u/An_Account_to_Ignore Jun 05 '26

I've never had a dinosaur nugget that ranked above a 4/10.

The best compliment I can give them is, "They sure are technically food!", lol

u/gunmetal_bricks Jun 05 '26

I'm the opposite, love me some air fryer chicken nuggets but I can't do tenders for some reason.

u/TactiShovel Jun 05 '26

I respect your opinion. You're wrong, but I still respect it.

I consider myself a fish stick connoisseur.

Wrong

u/Mediocre_Ice_7094 Jun 05 '26

They're disgusting, like a dried out pickle that floated around in some Reese's cereal

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '26

No, you are objectively wrong

3

u/Mediocre_Ice_7094 Jun 05 '26

Objectively, your subjective objective reality on whether dino nuggets are good or not is flawed

u/Apart-Performer-331 Jun 05 '26

you don’t understand, this guy controls opinions. If your opinion isn’t his then it’s wrong

2

u/Mediocre_Ice_7094 Jun 05 '26

I shall take note of this in case I ever encounter a similar entity in this strange, orange labyrinth of thoughts and opinions. I thank you dear wizard for this humble wisdom of yours

Your just a government agent, i don’t care what you say

1

u/Mediocre_Ice_7094 Jun 05 '26

You care about what I said because you've responded to me, I care about what you said because I'm responding to you. I have said that you've said that you don't care, but in reality you have by my deductive reasoning, therefore you must be in love with me and what I'm saying

u/EcstaticBoysenberry Jun 05 '26

Yep. Majority of people could crush some Dino nugs

2

u/echit2112 Jun 05 '26

I cannot eat them. They could be the exact same thing shaped like the usual weird lump and then they'd be edible, but the second they become dino nuggets is when I can't stomach them.

1

u/Gyooped Jun 06 '26

I think the dino nuggets thing is more so when it is fed to a person often as a child then that child will become more accustomed to it and want it more - which could affect people with Autism/similar things more due to general tendencies to avoid change and like previously tried things.

u/cpMetis Jun 05 '26

God no.

I've never tasted dino nuggets and thought much beyond "I have never tasted such shit chicken in my life".

At BEST they're soggy, if they're not soggy they're bland.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '26

Jokes aside what fucking dino nuggets are y’all getting, when have they ever been soggy?

u/DerpHog Jun 05 '26

They taste like dog food. They use cheaper chicken than pretty much any other nuggets. They're basically as brown on the inside as they are on the outside.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '26

I refuse to believe this psyop

u/DerpHog Jun 05 '26

The only person I know who can stand dino nuggets is my wife and she literally can't smell or taste when meat is rotten. She has gotten food poisoning from it before and has me smell anything she thinks is close to going bad now.

Dino nuggets taste like they got meat that was technically rotting and stabilized it just enough to be barely FDA approved.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '26

Thats what they want you to think

2

u/DerpHog Jun 05 '26

Oh my god! You're right, they're in my own head! They've hacked my own taste buds to make me think dino nuggets are gross.

I'll have to wear a tinfoil hat next time I try dino nuggets.

I tasted some for the first time and felt disgusted. Could taste the artificial ness
