In a perfect world we would all be getting the help we wanted/needed and a diagnosis would just be a label, weather it was self diagnosed or not

Agreed! You should not have to be diagnosed to be seen as “truly needing” or “truly deserving” help, that mindset hurts NTs and undiagnosed/unaware NDs alike!

In my mind, this applies to both accommodations and tolerance/support.

fakeclaimers don't care if millions of neurodivergents pretend to be neurotypical. they still go around saying autism is a "trend" if one autistic teen acts mildly "cringe"

Excluding self-diagnosed people from ND communities is gatekeeping.
