Considering medical racism and sexism it’s understandable why many ppl go undiagnosed. Let’s remember a lot of women were told they DONT have ADHD & they just were dealing with something like depression UNTIL they had a son who tested positive for ADHD. Whenever we saw autism in media it was almost always a white boy or white man. And for the “you’re taking resources from people who are diagnosed folk” as somebody who’s professionally diagnosed what resources do you truly think a person without paperwork is taking from you? Let’s be so serious.

@Dreadful4Tymes I was just thinking this. What exactly is being taken? What’s actually being provided to help people that are clinically diagnosed? It went from people saying it didn’t exist back in their day or years ago to people up in arms when someone claims it themselves.
@Dreadful4Tymes “Congrats you’re autistic good luck out there bucko” is the resources 🤣
@Dreadful4Tymes @keatingssixth Seriously someone point me to these alleged resources. I've been looking!
