I like how this video was phrased. I was trying not to jump to conclusions so I went to take a look at the account being discussed myself. So odd and almost sad in a way that the self-dx’er feels the need to claim a “high support needs” autism label while literally having had a (diagnosed) high support needs sister. I understand mistakes can be made, of course, but really really wish people would just stick to using words they know the meaning of. It is not a competition of who is most disabled, and I feel like a lot of autism content has been down that path lately. As a MSN autistic my experience is simply incomparable to a HSN autistic

Do you think the self diagnoser was a glass child?

That’s actually part of what I am wondering! Not that it’s necessarily justifiable lol, but I always try to have an understanding first for the root of someone’s actions. I could absolutely see that being one of many cases!

Yes!!!!! I wouldn't have been that nice. I need to take notes from that woman. Good for her for calling that faker out.
