@Hyolobrika Not at all. It varies, but a common theme is thousands of hours of research into autism, learning everything one can about it, autistic special interest style. Being misdiagnosed as something else first is also a common theme. And, because tism, usually a fair bit of self doubt and critical analysis as a result of taking the vaguely worded dx criteria way too literally. ("I don't engage in black or white thinking, because there is one example where I didn't", etc)

@isaacsI'm just pointing out the weird, self-contradictory grammar.Are they diagnosing themselves or someone else?

@Hyolobrika ah, I see. there's exactly one person one could self diagnose. And that person self diagnoses someone who self diagnoses.
