"If you want to call yourself Autistic you should at least be seeking a medical diagnosis!"
I don't think you understand.
Diagnosed Autistics can be denied entry to certain countries and even deported from them.
Diagnosed Autistics can have their children taken from them.
Diagnosed Autistics can be denied life saving organ transplants.
Diagnosed Autistics can be forcibly institutionalized and subject to torture in the name of "treatment".
Historically, the Nazis would sort Autistic children into groups to be either "re-educated" or murdered.
Now, RFK Jr wants to create a "national autism registry".
Not only are diagnoses extremely difficult to obtain depending on your race, gender, where you live etc, they can put you in danger if the wrong person finds out about them. Autistics have valid reasons for not wanting their autism on official record. We are still an actively persecuted minority group.
