When I mentioned my (apparently hot) take that I believe self-diagnosed people are valid, I got a handful of (my first!!!) hate comments.

So I thought I'd elaborate.

People who are self-diagnosed with anything might just end up being default settings. That's okay. What's not okay is denying someone aid on the basis that they don't have a diagnosis.

I always carry earplugs because a bunch of my friends have auditory sensory issues. None of them are diagnosed with anything, but I've helped them through panic attacks nonetheless.

If a stranger came up to me at a loud event and, seeing I have earplugs, asked for a pair, I wouldn't hesitate to give them. Don't bother giving them back, I buy in bulk.

Maybe that person was a neurotypical with sensitive ears, or maybe they were an autistic person with auditory sensory issues. I'll never know. But if my response was, "Do you have autism?" that would just make me a jerk. If their response was "Yes," and I then demanded paperwork as proof of their autism and therefore eligibility for ear plugs? That would mean I'm violating their privacy.

One of my friends had a panic attack at a loud event where she was working, and someone took her shift without question when they asked if she was okay and she said she wasn't. That's being a cool person. Saying "Well, you're not diagnosed with autism," and refusing to help her on that basis while she is clearly in distress is not cool. Even if she is neurotypical, anyone in distress merits help. Just because someone can swim doesn't mean they need breaks to keep from drowning, and refusing them a lifesaver on those grounds is just being a jerk, especially if there's no one else who could use the metaphorical lifesaver.

One of the main reasons I'm pursuing being a psychiatrist is so I can give my friends the diagnoses that I know would make their lives easier. I have the privilege to be diagnosed. They do not. I want to help give people free therapy and diagnoses since, at least in the United States, money is a huge barrier keeping people from diagnoses.

Oh god. Oh god that hurt.

No, no I am not okay after watching the first three episode of The Boys’ spinoff, Gen V. It is because of this character arc. I am a trans woman currently navigating difficult waters with my father and good GOD THIS SCENE HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK. “I’m just… the kid addicted to their PlayStation. Who goes to Olive Garden just for the breadsticks, who binges Property Brothers. I’ve never changed Dad. I’ve always just been me.” DEAR GOD I was torn to shreds by that scene. That’s all I’ve ever wanted anyone to ever see. Especially my father. I’m still me. I’m still the kid addicted to video games, the one who can talk your ear off about Star Wars or Nintendo. I’m still me, Dad.

Jordan Li rocketed to my favorite character for obvious reasons but still overall I’m extremely eager to see where things go for them. They deserve the world dammit and I will fight till my last breath until they get it ON THEIR LAP!
