I’m interested in understanding what the supposed benefits of being diagnosed as autistic are that people would fake misrepresent symptoms to get a diagnosis. Like, what do they think someone is trying to achieve from a diagnosis besides answers/insight, a path, and appropriate health care?
I’ve been told it’s to get attention. I don’t personally see it because as said in the video you either get attacked for being autistic or get attacked for being self diagnosed but apparently there’s positive attention as well.
