Is autism self-diagnosis valid? Yep. 💜

Hey all, after reading dozens of research papers, and meta-analyses, and living through it, I made a thing!

I'd love it if you'd check it out! 🥰

Update: I replaced the header image, now people can complain about the actual research instead of the thumbnail.

Also, before any more guys respond with gatekeepy opinions about my conclusions, try reading the paper first.

I do have a formal diagnosis, but let me say that anyone who spends the time to dig into this rabbit hole the way you have is almost surely also autistic.

When you're assessed as an adult, you've likely acquired so many masking skills that all they can really do is ask us how we feel. And that will very likely match our "dossiers"
