I appreciate your comments about people using real diagnoses colloquially, like "I'm so OCD." I have Type I Diabetes and recently mentioned to someone I don't know well that my blood sugar was low. I realized afterwards that the person thought I was joking, because people tend to flippantly talk about low blood sugar. Hearing you talk about how invalidating that is helped me, so thank you as always! And love a Rebeccasode!

Dr Kirk, I listen to your podcast every day and I love it and it has helped me immensely BUT I'm disappointed that you didn't recognise that question about people diagnosing themselves with autism from Tiktok videos as the loaded question it was. The question was dripping with contempt and, as loaded questions are designed to do, illicited a similarly contemptuous response. Have you witnessed this happening or read research that corroborates that people are diagnosing themselves with autism after watching a 1 minute Tiktok video? Eighty percent of autistic women remain undiagnosed at age 18. Nearly 80% of women with autism are misdiagnosed. Most studies surrounding autism tend to exclude women and girls, and that prevents us from receiving a proper diagnosis and proper treatment. Many women never consider that they might be on the spectrum until their children (often our sons) are diagnosed. Nobody who isn't autistic spends 2 years wondering if they might be autistic. I haven't watched one Tiktok video and come out the other side thinking I'm autistic. I'd estimate I've watched several hundred YouTube videos made by actually autistic women at this point. I've done deep dives into monotropism, masking, stimming, autistic shutdowns, sensory differences etc. I have a 13 page document of all the reasons I think I'm autistic based on what I've learned from watching YouTube videos. The profession of psychology has failed autistic girls and women. If people are diagnosing themselves from YouTube videos perhaps there's a reason why.
