(1) I have no idea how to word this to not sound rude so whatever I say please don't take offense to it. I feel like you guys say people are autistic really easily. What I mean is that someone mentions a symptom, and the response is usually "yep! That's a symptom of autism!". There are a lot of symptoms that are related to completely different things, would it be rude if I suggested that you maybe list out what other disorders that symptom can be caused by?

(2) I understand if someone has a good bit of the symptoms of autism, but sometimes those symptoms may not be autism. ADHD has similar symptoms, as well as many mental illnesses. Idk. I’m just kind of weirded out by the people who say, are obsessed with something, but that’s the only symptom they have and they say it’s autism. Does any of this make sense? Sorry if it’s kind of scrambled, fellow autistic here just trying to offer some constructive criticism.I have a reason why I haven’t always mentioned other disorder: autistic traits do not equal being autistic. Some thing can be an autistic thing/trait BUT it does not mean you are autistic. You need to fill the diagnostic criteria, 

Many things have similarities with autism (ADHD, like you mentioned, but also PTSD, BPD, sensory processing disorder, PDD-NOS, OCD, etc. It really depends.) 

Also, your ask was not rude. Don’t worry. - Mod Venu
