In anticipation of upcoming publication in Autism Research, we have released our accepted response to Singer et al. as a preprint. A thread about the main points. 1/ https://psyarxiv.com/3vjnq

Again I find myself in the position of having to ask the allistics to please not.
That... makes a lot of sense, actually.
I've never felt he/him was wrong for me, as such, but only because I discarded an enormous amount of garbage attached to it.
But others haven't. And 3rd person pronouns are explicitly about how others refer to me and what they hear.
Huh

my student and I found this video of an octopus punching a fish when we were looking for research on interspecies gestural communication in fish and we couldn’t stop laughing, so I put it on a loop, please enjoy

This is not actually a danger of self-diagnosis. This is justifying ableism so long as it happens to someone without a "proper diagnosis". Funny how hardly any dangers of self-diagnosis ever materialize, but the dangers of doctors isn't even acknowledged. https://twitter.com/drmicklive/status/1621614024764047360

Oh we're doing self-diagnosis discourse again
So.
"Self-diagnosis" is a misnomer. Like yes you can self-diagnose as neurodivergent, however when people say they're self-diagnosed what they usually are (too) is *peer*-diagnosed
As in, an autistic friend suggested I was autistic

I have absolutely no time for "anti-self-diagnosers."
"Self-diagnosis" is often NECESSARY to get an actual diagnosis. Doctors aren't exactly gonna catch ADHD or autism or gender dysphoria during a regular checkup. https://twitter.com/TRAExecutive/status/1625772724399349760

This just demonstrates that the official diagnostic process, revolves around VISIBLE DISTRESSED autistic behavior.
Clinicians clearly can‘t even use the very few tools they do have for recognizing autism beyond distress because they are so fixated on autism = distress. https://twitter.com/erikaheidewald/status/1625220583146377216

“several people on tiktok have told me that their psychiatrist or therapist said because they have c-ptsd, it’s impossible to tell if they’re also autistic bc the symptoms are indistinguishable and i’m so mad i want to physically fight them all. fuck your phd i will punch it”
